Mike Spector's pick: Falcons -3.5 (+100)
Since 2019 (including playoffs), when Jackson became Baltimore's full-time starter, the Ravens are 76-35 with Jackson under center, averaging 28.0 points per game, while Jackson has posted a 69 Total QBR. With all other quarterbacks under center during that span, the Ravens are 6-12, averaging 17.6 points per game, while those quarterbacks (primarily Tyler Huntley) have posted a 50 Total QBR.

LJ Blut's pick: Derrick Henry anytime TD scorer (-150)
Derrick Henry has already recorded seven rushing touchdowns this season, establishing himself as a critical piece of Baltimore's offensive attack. With Jackson unavailable, the Ravens will likely lean more heavily on their veteran running back to generate offense and keep the chains moving.

Brenden Schaeffer's pick: Michael Penix Jr. Over 221.5 passing yards (-111)
Baltimore ranks in the middle of the pack in pass defense, allowing 215.3 yards per game (15th in the NFL). Coming off a game in which the Ravens allowed 222 passing yards to Cam Ward, I see this secondary as vulnerable to Michael Penix Jr. through the air.
