You don’t need me to tell you what oddsmakers set the total at for Washington Commanders at Baltimore Ravens for you to know it’s expected to be a shootout.
You’ve seen these teams play. They’re the NFL’s two highest scoring offenses. They’re both top-five in yards per game. Their respective quarterbacks have top-five MVP odds. It’s all there.
But I’ll tell you anyway.
The total is 51.5 points, which is the second-highest of the week. And yet, the Ravens are favored by 6.5. That tells you they’re expected to do the bulk of that scoring. I expect Lamar Jackson to do it with his arm.
Jackson has six touchdowns over the last two weeks, including four against the Bengals in Week 5. That was just a warm-up for what he’ll be able to do against a Commanders defense that has allowed the most passing touchdowns to opposing teams.
That’s why I like Jackson to go over 1.5 passing touchdowns. Jayden Daniels is special, but he’s going to have his work cut out trying to keep up with Jackson and the Ravens offense in this one.
Now let’s get to more of my favorite Week 6 player props, with odds from BetMGM.
Week 5 record: 8-5
YTD record: 34-26
