The Packers are continuing to roll as they are currently the No. 1 seed in the NFC and could lock down the North with a win this week. Aaron Rodgers continues to lead the team and is arguing to be the first back-to-back MVP since Peyton Manning in 2008-09. What also makes them a great team is the defense is doing its part, as they are seventh in points allowed (20.9 PPG) and sixth in total yards (323.6).
Baltimore may have to go through another game without star quarterback Lamar Jackson as he deals with an ankle injury he suffered last week. If Jackson can’t go, it would be Tyler Huntley who would get the start. This year, Huntley has a start against Chicago when Jackson missed a game due to an illness, and he wasn’t blowing up the stat sheet with 219 passing yards and an interception, but he did well in relief of Jackson last week against Cleveland, throwing for 270 yards and touchdown.
Trends
- The Packers are 15-5 against the spread in its last 20 games.
- The over is 7-3 in the Packers’ last ten games.
- The under is 11-9 in the Ravens’ in the last 20 games.
- The Ravens are 12-8 against the spread in its last 20 games.
Overview
The significant factor is if Jackson plays in this game. Either way, the Packers are a better team, as Baltimore has been inconsistent lately, even with Jackson. Taking the 5.5 right now would be a good move because if Jackson is officially out, that spread will jump.
Pick: Packers -5.5
