Week 9 Matchup

The Baltimore Ravens head to Miami on Thursday night to take on the Miami Dolphins, hoping to keep some momentum going after finally breaking a nasty four-game skid with their 30-16 win over Chicago.

The big news? Lamar Jackson is expected back after sitting out three games with a hamstring issue. Baltimore desperately needs their star quarterback—they’re 74-32 with him starting since 2018 but only 5-12 without him. Miami, meanwhile, wants to protect home field and take advantage of a Ravens defense that’s been leaky during their recent rough patch.

Baltimore Ravens

Baltimore’s offense is completely different when Jackson is running it. Before he tweaked his hamstring in Kansas City on September 28, Jackson was playing at an MVP level—leading the entire NFL with a 130.5 passer rating while tossing 10 touchdowns against just one pick. His 71.6% completion rate showed the kind of precision and patience that have marked his development as a passer.

The Ravens’ running game has stayed strong even without Jackson, thanks to veteran bulldozer Derrick Henry, who’s hammered defenses for 510 yards and six touchdowns on 109 carries. Henry’s punishing style—he’s averaging 4.7 per carry—has kept Baltimore in games without their franchise quarterback.

Miami Dolphins

Miami’s defense has a serious challenge trying to slow down Jackson and Baltimore’s multifaceted attack. Linebacker Jordyn Brooks has 85 tackles in his second year with the Dolphins. The Dolphins need Brooks all over the field Thursday—stuffing the run, covering backs, and chasing down Jackson when he scrambles.

Prediction

Miami had a surprise resurgence last week with its win over Atlanta. (Translation: My pick was wrong). All year, TNF has taught us to expect the unexpected. With that in mind, let’s pick Miami to cover.
