Teams with two wins each will clash in ‘Thursday Night Football’, featuring a two-time MVP returned to the NFL player props scene. The matchup between the Ravens and Dolphins will highlight Lamar Jackson (hamstring) who missed the last three games. He takes center stage in NFL prop bets but is not the only high-profile player to consider on ‘Thursday Night Football’. Notable mentions include Derrick Henry, Tua Tagovailoa, De’Von Achane, and Jaylen Waddle, all of whom present intriguing betting lines for the Week 9 opener, with Baltimore favored by 7.5 points.
The Dolphins have allowed the most rushing yards to opposing running backs, averaging 128.3 yards per game. Yet, Miami recently restricted Bijan Robinson to only 25 yards, making a bet on Henry’s over/under of 89.5 rushing yards anything but certain. Additionally, Jackson’s return could influence the future Hall of Famer’s utilization.
You should check out the Ravens vs. Dolphins prop predictions powered by SportsLine’s Machine Learning AI before placing any bets. The AI model predicts that Jackson will go under 233.5 passing yards (-114 at FanDuel). Jackson may appear rusty after being sidelined, which is often reflected in his cautious gameplay following a recovery period. Last time he returned, he only achieved 165 passing yards in his first game post-illness, and managed just 107 yards after being on the COVID list in a previous year.
Miami’s defensive strength lies in their air coverage, permitting fewer than 200 passing yards per game while limiting big plays effectively. Conversely, they concede a worrying 5.0 yards per rush, which likely means Baltimore will focus more on their ground game than aerial strategies. Jackson’s predicted passing yard average is at 189.8 for this four-star pick.
