There's been a lot made this week of Trevor Lawrence not being factored into the MVP conversation simply because he's rarely on the field in the fourth quarter these days. There's certainly an element of truth in that, and in terms of efficiency there aren't many near his level right now.
Sadly for neutral viewers, we've had it confirmed that both Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley are out, meaning an injured Joe Fagnano under center for the Ravens. That's moved the Jaguars to 10-point favorites on the spread.
Combine that, potentially, with a fourth-quarter rest in a blowout game script, moderate rain conditions and the Jaguars eating up the clock with the run game, and that leads me to the under on Lawrence's passing yards .
Lawrence has been under this mark in four of seven games and the Ravens are averaging just 228.3 yards allowed through the air.
Pick: Trevor Lawrence Under 237.5 Passing Yards (-114, FanDuel)
The Jaguars destroyed the Colts in Week 8 — something notable from that game was Jacksonville mixed in Chris Rodriguez quite a bit.
He's still very much the backup to Bhayshul Tuten with six carries to Tuten's 16, but with the game in hand, Rodriguez was very much on the field, something I expect to continue on TNF. He was efficient, too, averaging 6.8 yards per carry and turning his six carries into 41 yards.
The Ravens are allowing opposing running backs to average 82 yards on the ground per game. Rodriguez will get carries, regardless of Tuten's health, but it's especially worth backing with Tuten listed as questionable and a potential game-time decision.
Pick: Chris Rodriguez Over 28.5 Rushing Yards (-110, DraftKings)
Betting against Derrick Henry always feels risky, but I'm not confident in the Ravens running back at all in this spot. In theory, you'd expect him to get a ton of carries with the team missing Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley.
But even with a heavy workload, I'm not sure how efficient Henry would be without the threat of Jackson. It's notable that Henry's 4.0 YPC this season is substantially down from his previous two seasons.
Then there is the Jaguars defense. This unit is good against the run, giving up a league-low average of 77.4 rushing yards per game.
They've struggled at times against the pass, and with the Ravens expected to be chasing in this game, and Joe Fagnano having more time to prepare, you'd think the Ravens try to lean into the Jags being a pass funnel.
Pick: Derrick Henry Under 70.5 Rushing Yards (-114, Unibet)
Trevor Lawrence Under 237.5 Passing Yards (-114, FanDuel)
Chris Rodriguez Over 28.5 Rushing Yards (-110, DraftKings)
Derrick Henry Under 70.5 Rushing Yards (-114, Unibet)
