Where to watch Ravens vs. Dolphins: TV Channel, Live Stream, Prediction, Picks, Odds, Spread

Lamar Jackson returns to action — and it’s not too soon for the Baltimore Ravens — when the Ravens visit the Miami Dolphins on “Thursday Night Football” to open Week 9.

Jackson has missed the last three games with a hamstring injury, and the Ravens went 1-2 in his absence to fall to 2-5 on the season. Tyler Huntley helped them get a much-needed win in Week 8, and in a weakened AFC North, the Ravens hope to rally and become just the fifth team to reach the postseason after a 1-5 start.

The Dolphins went 2-6 but also had an impressive win, beating the Atlanta Falcons 34-10 to snap a three-game losing streak. Tua Tagovailoa threw four touchdown passes, and the defense allowed just 45 yards after allowing more than 100 yards in each of the first seven games.

Here’s how to watch the action, plus betting information, game keys and predictions.

Dolphins vs. Ravens: Need to know

• What does Lamar Jackson have in store for his return? Even amid Baltimore’s rough start, Jackson was playing at a high level. And currently driving NFL With a passer rating of 130.5, and a 10-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio ranks fourth. Jackson also had the highest sack rate in the league, so he will have to improve in those areas. However, he should revitalize a passing attack that has been mostly dormant during his absence. From Weeks 5 through 8, the Ravens had the second-fewest receiving yards per NFLTheir only relegation during that period was tied for the fewest in the league.
• Both defenses are playing better. The Ravens and Dolphins both rank in the bottom 10 in the NFL in yards allowed per game, but both have improved recently thanks in large part to an improved rushing defense. Over the past two games, the Ravens have allowed just 3.7 yards per carry, down from 4.7 before this season. Meanwhile, the Dolphins have allowed just 3.0 yards per carry over the past two weeks, second in the NFL. Miami allowed 5.6 yards per carry before this season.
• It is a clash of styles. The Dolphins have one of the nimblest and quickest offenses in the NFL, highlighted by De’Von Achane. The Ravens aim to be bigger and more physical, as evidenced by Derrick Henry. It’s a fascinating clash of styles. Miami’s safeties and linebackers will be busy trying to keep up with Achane, whose 37 receptions rank second-most for a running back this season.

prediction

The Ravens are finally back on form defensively, and Jackson’s return should help them do the same on offense, but don’t sleep on Miami’s speed. Tagovailoa led Miami to a stunning 42-38 win over Baltimore in 2022, only to lead Jackson 56-19 the following year. Expect lots of fireworks, and ultimately a win for the Ravens.

Pick: Crows +7.5, over 50.5
