Jaguars vs. Ravens 'Thursday Night Football' betting odds, picks and predictions: Best bets, player props

Our NFL handicapper break downs his favorite bets in the Jaguars-Ravens matchup on "Thursday Night Football."

The Baltimore Ravens will host the Jacksonville Jaguars in a Thursday Night Football game on the football field. Quarterback Lamar Jackson suffered a thumb injury and backup quarterback Tyler Huntley had a toe injury, which could sideline them for the rest of the season. The Ravens reportedly made a trade for veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who was benched in favor of Gardner Minshew in Arizona.

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars, who are currently leading the AFC South, will face off against the Baltimore Ravens. The Jaguars have a 5-2 record, while the Ravens are at 4-4. Sportsbooks have Jacksonville favored by 10 points with a total of 40.5 points. With the loss of Jackson and Huntley, Baltimore's offense is in turmoil.

Jacksonville also has some health concerns with its wide receiver Jakobi Meyers and running backs Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez Jr. The total for this game is expected to stay under 40.5 points. Justice Hill is projected to have a big game for the Baltimore Ravens, while Trevor Lawrence is predicted to throw for over 1.5 passing touchdowns.

Baltimore's running back Derrick Henry is expected to have a big game, despite struggling this season. A potential dark horse bet is on TE Nate Boerkircher, who has been gaining more playing time for Jacksonville.
