Thursday Night Football Week 9: Ravens at Dolphins Open Thread
Mile High Report Mile High Report

Lamar Jackson officially makes his return to the lineup after being out a while with a hamstring injury. The 2-5 Baltimore Ravens are in desperate need to get on a run after winning just their second game on Sunday. The Miami Dolphins are 2-6 themselves and reeling from poor play and injuries. This is game that could help keep the Ravens hopes for a playoff berth alive for another week.

Kickoff is set for Thursday, October 30, 2025 at 6:15 p.m. Mile High time at Hard Rock Stadium in Opa Locka, Florida and will air on Prime Video.

My Prediction

According to FanDuel, the Ravens are massive 7.5-point road favorites over the Dolphins here. I don’t really like this big spread, but I would agree it could certainly turn into a blowout. I do think the return of Jackson is being overplayed here on this line. Last I checked, he doesn’t play defense and that defense has given up 37 or more points in four of their seven games and three of those were with Lamar Jackson in the lineup. That said, I do thinks Baltimore comes out on top in a closer outcome.

Prediction: Ravens 27, Dolphins 24
