Green Bay Packers At Baltimore Ravens Free Picks & Betting Predictions
Adam Walford | 7 mins
It's a game which has implications at the top of each conference. The 10-3 Packers hold the No. 1 seed in the NFC at the moment, while the Ravens are somehow still clinging on to top spot in the AFC North and the No. 4 seed in that conference despite some poor performances in recent weeks.
The top sportsbooks in the US have the Packers favored on the road, but a lot depends on the health of Lamar Jackson, who suffered a twisted ankle early in their loss to the Browns last week.
The NFL spreads opened at 7 and money has come in on the Ravens, probably due to the news that the Lamar injury might not be as bad as expected. Let’s have a look at what the NFL betting market thinks of this game ahead of Week 15.
Take a look at Ravens vs. Packers odds, injury report, betting lines and more.
Packers vs Ravens key matchups
Aaron Rodgers vs the battered Baltimore secondary: The Ravens have been killed by injuries this year, and having players missing in the secondary against one of the best of his generation is not a good spot to be in.
Lamar Jackson vs his ankle: After leaving the game early last week, Jackson was quickly ruled out. The latest seems to be that he’s “day-to-day” and they’re hopeful he will play, but how healthy will he be?
Matt LaFluer vs John Harbaugh: Two of the best coaches in the league face off this week.

14: The number of players the Ravens have on IR.
18-7: The Ravens straight-up record at home since the start of 2019.

Packers vs Ravens Point Spread
The top betting apps have cut the Packers from a touchdown favorite to around 5 at the time of writing, I would assume on the news that Lamar Jackson could play. If he does then the line probably gets shorter, if not then it might hit 10.
So betting against the spread here is based on your confidence in Lamar and his ankle. Either way I don’t think the Ravens keep up with Aaron Rodgers so I’m happy to take them covering; best priced the Packers are -4.5 (-110) with Caesars. ➜
Packers vs Ravens Totals
The total is a tougher call, the betting apps have it around 44. On one hand it seems unlikely that the Ravens will put up 20 points, on the other hand the Packers offense has been purring recently with Aaron Rodgers looking very good, putting up at least 30 points in the last three games, and hitting 24 in all bar two games this season.
Against a depleted Ravens secondary I think they hit 30 again. Will the Ravens get 14 to go over the total? I think they do. Over 43.5 is available at BetMGM. ➜
