Pick #1: Dolphins +7.5 over Ravens (-112) Click Here to Bet
Our top pick for this game will target the Dolphins to cover the spread. The Ravens enter this game with a 2-5 record, having most recently beaten the Chicago Bears in Week 8 by a score of 30-16 with Tyler Huntley under center.
As for Miami, they enter this game with a 2-6 record, having secured a huge upset victory over the Atlanta Falcons last Sunday.
The Ravens are more than a touchdown favorite, likely because of Jackson’s expected return for Baltimore this week. However, even if he does play, there is a chance that Jackson will not be 100% healthy, especially after the injury report chaos we saw at the end of last week.
As bad as the Dolphins have looked this season, the Ravens’ defense has still been among the worst in the NFL. Because of that, backing the Miami Dolphins to keep this game within a touchdown looks a good bet.
Pick #2: Over 50.5 (-110) Click Here to Bet
Our second pick for TNF is to target the over. The Dolphins have had some poor offensive performances this season, but broke out for 34 points this past week against the Falcons. Miami is now averaging 21.8 points per game. Defensively, the Dolphins also had one of their best performances against the Falcons, but overall, they are allowing 26.9 points per game.
The Ravens, on the other hand, are averaging 24.9 points per game. Most of their scoring came early in the season when Jackson was still healthy. When Cooper Rush was starting, the Ravens averaged 6.5 points per game, but Huntley started last week and the Ravens scored 30 points.
Defensively, the Ravens are allowing 30 points per game, so even if Jackson returns this week, they are vulnerable to giving up another big number.
The total has gone over in four of the eight games for Miami and five of the seven games for Baltimore. Points look likely in this one.
Pick #3: De’Von Achane Anytime Touchdown Scorer (-150) Click Here to Bet
For our Ravens vs Dolphins player prop bet, we’re targeting De’Von Achane to score a touchdown for Miami on TNF. While the Dolphins’ offense has not been consistent this season, Achane has been. He leads the team in touchdowns, having scored a total of seven times through eight games. Three of these touchdowns were rushing and four were receiving, so there are plenty of avenues for Achane to find the end zone.
Achane scored in the most recent game for the Dolphins against the Atlanta Falcons and has now scored at least once in six of the eight games this season. Given that the running back has been one of the bright spots for the Dolphins this season, bank on him to put six points on the board on Thursday night.
