The Jacksonville Jaguars were 13.5-point underdogs when we previewed the spread earlier this week, but with about 16 hours remaining before kickoff, the spread is now a full point lower (12.5). The change comes as the Ravens had a pretty big injury report with starting cornerback Jimmy Smith being ruled out alongside five other defensive backs, all of whom are questionable.
The money line also changed from +575 to +550, which means a $100 wager on the Jags would win a bettor $550, which is still a nice chunk of change. As for the over/under, it also shifted going from 52.5 to 47.5.
Sunday’s game will be the Jags and Ravens’ 22nd meeting. The Jags currently lead the series with a 12-9 record. However, the Ravens own the better record at M&T Bank Stadium as they are 6-5 against the Jags there. Unfortunately for Baltimore, that success doesn’t include their last home game against the Jags, which took place in 2015 and resulted in a 22-20 win for Jacksonville.
