Ravens vs. Packers Prediction on Spread
Here are some stats to get you ready for Ravens vs. Packers.
- The Ravens are 5-10 against the spread and 3-3 on the road this season.
- The Packers have gone 6-9 against the spread, bringing a 4-3 record at Lambeau Field.
- In Lamar Jackson's pro career, Baltimore is 5-11 when he doesn’t play.
Baltimore Ravens Preview vs. Packers
Jackson struggled after returning from an early-season hamstring injury — two-time MVP has only thrown for more than 200 yards in three of the eight games since he made it back onto the field.
He averages 20 rushing yards per game, down from the 56.6 average he’s carried throughout his career.
Against the Pack, the Ravens might not even need Jackson. Thanks in part to the Green Bay's quarterback injuries of their own, the Ravens could well lean on superstar RB Derrick Henry, who has played two career games at Lambeau Field and totaled nearly 190 rushing yards.
The Packers are one of the NFL’s best run defenses, allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position this season, per Lineups. But we know that Henry is a freak who gets better as the season progresses.
Green Bay Packers Preview vs. Ravens
Against the Chicago Bears last Saturday, QB Jordan Love left the game with a concussion, sending backup QB Malik Willis into action. However, later in that same game, Willis suffered a shoulder issue, leading to questions for Week 17.
Love practiced on Wednesday, working with the first team offense, a good sign for the Packers. Given that they essentially have little to play for, however, don’t expect the team to rush their star QB back unless he is fully ready.
And keep an eye on Packers RB Josh Jacobs. Jacobs did play against the Bears, but was out for most of the second half due to undisclosed reasons. The team’s top rusher came into the game with a knee injury, but apart from Jacobs mentioning that it was “stiffening up a bit," but he did practice this week, so there is reason for optimism on the veteran RB.
Ravens vs. Packers Same-Game Picks for PrizePicks
Here are two top Ravens vs. Packers same-game player picks for Week 17, spotlighting key projections to watch for WR Jayden Reed and RB Derrick Henry.
You can choose More or Less on these projections on PrizePicks — along with plenty of others — for a chance to win real money this NFL season.
Packers WR Jayden Reed Projections vs. Ravens: 33.5 Receiving Yards
Since Reed returned from both a broken collarbone and a Jones foot fracture three weeks ago, he’s had a bit of a slow integration back into the offense. However, Reed’s snap share is up in the mid-60s, he’s caught all but one of his 13 targets, and now he gets a solid matchup against the Ravens.
The Ravens run the fourth-most man coverage in the NFL, per PFF. Reed ranks as a top-12 option against man coverage, with 0.64 fantasy points per route run and a 25% target share against the coverage.
Despite a low bar, Reed has cleared this projection in three of his four games this season. He could be matched up against Green Bay CB Marlon Humphrey, who ranks as one of PFF’s lowest-graded cornerbacks in coverage this season.
Ravens RB Derrick Henry Projections vs. Packers: 72.5 Rush Yards
Henry is renowned in fantasy football history for being one of the most reliable fantasy playoffs weapons, with at least one game of 100+ rushing yards in every fantasy playoff season dating back to 2018.
Henry needs 64 rushing yards to pass Tony Dorsett and crack the top-ten on the NFL’s all-time rushing yards list, per ESPN. The Ravens could easily prioritize the superstar veteran in the chilly weather of Green Bay and take as much strain as possible off of QB Tyler Huntley, who is set to start with Jackson doubtful.
Despite Green Bay being a top-ten defense against the run this season, they rank 24th in Run Stop Win Rate.
