Summary
Jacksonville enters Thursday night as a 9.5-point road favorite, with staff picks unanimously backing the Jaguars to beat Baltimore.
Lamar Jackson could miss the rest of the season after a thumb injury on the first play last week, and backup Tyler Huntley is also out with turf toe, leaving Joe Fagnano in line to start.
The matchup pits a 5-2 Jaguars team coming off a 42-7 rout of Indianapolis against a Ravens offense that failed to get Zay Flowers a catch on five targets in Buffalo.
Playoff projections underscore the swing: a Jaguars win would lift Jacksonville to a 98% postseason chance and drop Baltimore to 8%, while a Ravens upset would move those odds to 92% and 21%.
