There were perhaps no two teams with more disappointing starts to the season heading into this past weekend than Lamar Jackson & the Baltimore Ravens and Tua Tagovailoa & the Miami Dolphins. Well, the two now kick off the NFL Week 9 slate on Thursday Night Football, and we’ve got our best Ravens vs. Dolphins predictions for you.

Even if you’re in South Beach, where fantasy action is needed without readily available legal online sports betting, we’ll be adding to our Ravens vs. Dolphins picks with a guaranteed (and two-part) Sleeper Fantasy promo code bonus!

Ravens vs. Dolphins Predictions For Thursday Night Football, NFL Week 9

The primary reason for the Ravens’ rough start has been that the name above hasn’t been on the field - Lamar Jackson. Since it’s such a major factor for any Ravens vs. Dolphins predictions for TNF, the expectation is that the Florida-born QB will be back on the field to play near his hometown.

Of course, that was the expectation this past weekend until about 24 hours prior to kickoff as well. Regardless, we are proceeding as if he will be on the field, especially since the Ravens vs. Dolphins odds suggest that he will be. We’d also be remiss to ignore a way to add to our best bet upcoming.

Sleeper Fantasy provides FREE player picks every single day, and on Thursdays, it’s always for TNF. So, be sure to add that to a lineup to help make our Ravens vs. Dolphins predictions even more valuable; don’t worry - we’ll take you through even more value provided by Sleeper to wrap things up.

With that out of the way, even the most casual of fans won’t be too surprised as to what we’re expecting from this game. With several household names on both offenses and historically bad defenses for both franchises, our Ravens vs. Dolphins picks are focused on a high-scoring affair in prime time.
 

 

 

Ravens vs. Dolphins Best Bet: Over 49.5 Total Points (Add Player Pick ‘Ems at Sleeper Fantasy)

The last time we took an over for a Ravens game was also a prime time game - their Sunday Night Football matchup with the Detroit Lions. That was a similar matchup, as although the Detroit Lions are a far superior team, their pass defense can still be exploited. Well, we expect a healthy Lamar Jackson to do the same against the Miami defense.

Speaking of which, be sure to check out our premium NFL best bets for Thursday Night Football for even more value for TNF! The Dolphins' defense ranked dead last in several categories heading into this past weekend, but facing an Atlanta Falcons defense with a backup QB helped soften those numbers a bit.

As for when these teams have clashed, four of the past five meetings have soared over the total with ease. Those ended with final scores of 56-19, 42-38, 59-10, and 40-0 (three of them wins for Baltimore). That shutout finish was the only one without Lamar Jackson for the Ravens, and they still put up 40 on Miami.

Every season provides a new team, but given what we’ve seen from these defenses THIS year, why should we expect any different? We’ll update our Ravens vs. Dolphins predictions as Lamar Jackson news comes out, but for now, we’ve got over 49.5 points (enjoy Sleeper DFS lineups as well) as the best bet from our Ravens vs. Dolphins picks.
