Best NFL Prop Bets for Ravens vs. Jaguars in Week 12 (This is Old School Ravens Run Defense)
By Josh Yourish
It was ugly and sloppy, but the Baltimore Ravens got a 13-3 win over the Panthers in the bad weather last week. Now, John Harbaugh’s team is 7-3 and at least in my eyes are a legitimate Super Bowl Contender and one of the top teams in the AFC. That could all come crashing down with a bad performance in Jacksonville with the Jaguars coming off their bye week, so this is one of the more interesting games of the weekend.
The Ravens are 3.5-point favorites on the road, but right now we want to lock in on the prop market. Here are my three favorites.
Best NFL Prop Bets for Ravens vs. Jaguars
- Mark Andrews Anytime TD
- Lamar Jackson Over 195.5 Pass Yards
- Travis Etienne Under 70.5 Rush Yards
Mark Andrews Anytime TD
He’s missed some time this year, but when Andrews has been on the field he’s been one of the very best tight ends in the NFL. He has 48 receptions for 551 yards on 72 targets this season and last game he went six for 63. The Jaguars are much worse against the pass than they are defending the run, so Lamar will have to throw the ball to score this week.
Lamar Jackson Over 195.5 Pass Yards
Yeah, Lamar Jackson will have to throw the ball to score this week. The Jaguars got run on by the Chiefs the last time they played before their bye week, but they are 11th against the run this year and 25th against the pass. Lamar is the whole offense for Baltimore especially with their injuries in the backfield and reliance on Kenyan Drake.
Travis Etienne Under 70.5 Rush Yards
Baltimore was already good at stopping the run and then it added Roquan Smith. Now, they’re an elite run defense that only allows 86.4 rush yards a game. That is the third best mark in the NFL and over the past three weeks they’re only giving up 42.7 rush yards per game. Etienne has shown immense talent this year, but it’ll be tough sledding this week. Not to mention, the Jags just added Darrell Henderson Jr. after he was released by the Rams. He won’t see a ton of snaps, I can’t imagine, but even if he takes two or three carries from Etienne, that will matter for this prop.
