Baltimore Ravens vs Jacksonville Jaguars Odds

• Opening point spread: Ravens -3
• Opening moneyline: Ravens -185/Jaguars +155
• Opening total: Over/Under 42.5 points scored
• Time: 8:20 p.m. ET Sunday (NBC)

UPDATE 7:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Fifty minutes before kickoff, the Ravens just moved from -3.5 to -4 in BetMGM's NFL odds Week 15 market. Baltimore spent the week toggling between the -3.5 opener and -3, before finally moving beyond those numbers tonight.

Spread tickets and money are in the 2.5/1 range on the Ravens. On the moneyline, tickets are almost dead even, but 79% of cash is on Baltimore.

BetMGM opened the total at 43.5 and slowly made its way to a 40.5 low point by this morning. But it's now up to 42, with tickets 2/1-plus and money almost 4/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 5 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Baltimore is pinned to -3 at TwinSpires, though the number is juiced to -117 at the moment. Early spread tickets and money are both running close to dead even.

"It's virtually split down the middle on tickets and liability," Lucas said.

The total opened at 44 and spent time at 43, then went to 42.5 this afternoon. The Over is taking 57% of tickets, while 63% of cash is on the Under.

"Sharp play on Under 44," Lucas said.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Baltimore (10-3 SU/8-5 ATS) has won three in a row and seven of its last eight (5-3 ATS). But the Ravens got perhaps a sterner-than-expected challenge in Week 14 from the L.A. Rams.

Baltimore trailed on multiple occasions and was pushed to overtime on a late L.A. field goal, which tied the game at 31. The Ravens won it 37-31 in exciting fashion, on a Tylan Wallace 76-yard punt return

Jacksonville (8-5 SU and ATS) got Trevor Lawrence right back in the lineup in Week 14, despite the QB's high ankle sprain from a Week 13 loss vs. Cincinnati. While Lawrence had three TD passes at Cleveland, he also had three interceptions.

The Jags came up just short, losing 31-27 as 2.5-point underdogs.

On Sunday night, The SuperBook opened Ravens-Jaguars at Baltimore -3, moved to -3.5 for an hour, then returned to -3. The total climbed a point to 43.5 in the NFL odds Week 15 market.

"This line has come down quite a bit, with Lawrence playing and looking decent today in Cleveland," Michaelson said, noting the opening lookahead line was Ravens -6.5. "Baltimore could have easily lost to the Rams this week, and the market is playing this back toward 3, which isn't surprising with a road favorite."

Ravens vs Jaguars Pick, Prediction

Action Network NFL betting expert Brandon Anderson offers this prediction:

Jacksonville has struggled to prove itself against top teams this season. The Jaguars have played four games against teams in the top six in either conference and lost three of them, the lone win coming with an unprecedented travel advantage in London. That includes a blowout loss against the 49ers, a team the Ravens profile somewhat similarly too.

Baltimore is the better team on both sides of the ball. The rushing attack has been excellent, and though Jacksonville's defense is built to stop that, Lamar Jackson and the passing game should find plenty of answers against a faltering pass defense missing its two best players in the secondary. Baltimore's defense will also have the upper hand against a Jaguars' offense that hasn't been great against top competition, especially with Mike MacDonald's pressure against a bad offensive line that might be missing guys.

Take advantage of the key number while it's there and grab the Ravens. They're just the better team.

Pick: Ravens -3
