ESPN’s FPI gives Jacksonville an 81% chance to win outright. The total has dropped six points since the line opened, which fits a Ravens offense that is short on quarterbacks. Odds are from DraftKings via ESPN and are subject to change.
The Ravens’ quarterback problem
Jackson is out, and backup Tyler Huntley hurt his toe in the same game. Rookie Joe Fagnano finished the 36-10 loss to Buffalo, going 10 of 21 for 91 yards with an interception. He was limited in Monday’s walkthrough with an ankle injury and was seen in a brace on Tuesday, but he practiced.
Baltimore has since added Austin Reed and Kedon Slovis. Between them and Fagnano, the three quarterbacks have appeared in three NFL games. Read more in our Ravens QB update.
What to watch
- Jacksonville’s momentum. The Jaguars beat the Colts 42-7 last week and sit at No. 4 in the AFC. Trevor Lawrence has 1,690 passing yards, Bhayshul Tuten has 492 rushing yards and Parker Washington has 432 receiving yards.
- A short week for Baltimore. The Ravens are coming off a 36-10 road loss and have only a few days to install a plan for a new quarterback. Offensive coordinator Declan Doyle will have to tailor it to whoever starts.
- Jaguars’ injury news. Defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton reportedly tore his quad against the Colts and could miss the rest of the season.
- New uniforms. The Ravens will debut their redesigned "Purple Rising" look, with purple helmets, jerseys and pants. Fans have been asked to wear purple.
Our take
On paper this favors Jacksonville: a team on a hot streak against a team with no clear starting quarterback. The Jaguars have their own injury issue at defensive tackle, and Thursday games on a short week can be messy. Baltimore sits at No. 10 in the AFC, so a loss would make the playoff math harder.
