Baltimore Ravens vs. New York Jets – Week 1 Betting Preview

The Week 1 game between the Baltimore Ravens and New York Jets is considered to be one of the biggest mismatches on the NFL schedule. The Ravens are favored on the road by a touchdown against their former long-time quarterback.

Zach Wilson’s knee injury has forced the Jets to name Joe Flacco as their Week 1 starter. The former Ravens signal caller has started just five games in the last two years. Lamar Jackson, who replaced Flacco halfway through the 2018 season, is looking to bounce-back from a disappointing 2021 campaign. Baltimore has the best odds to win the AFC North.

Let’s take a look at some key statistics and information about this matchup.
