Pros

A passing game script is implied by the Jaguars being a -4-point underdog this week.
Based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics, our trusted projections expect the Jacksonville Jaguars to pass on 60.4% of their chances: the 10th-highest frequency among all teams this week.
The model projects the Jaguars to be the 6th-fastest paced defense in the NFL (adjusted for context) right now, causing opposing offenses to average 27.49 seconds per play.
The Ravens defense has been a glaring pass funnel this year, inciting opposing teams to attempt the 2nd-most passes in the NFL (39.6 per game) this year.
Evan Engram’s 54.0 adjusted yards per game through the air this season illustrates a meaningful boost in his receiving proficiency over last season’s 43.0 figure.

Cons

The weatherman calls for 21-mph wind in this game. High wind generally means reduced pass volume (and increased run volume) and worse passing effectiveness.
This year, the imposing Ravens defense has yielded the 2nd-least adjusted yards-per-target in the league to opposing TEs: a meager 6.2 yards.
This year, the strong Ravens pass defense has surrendered the 4th-least yards-after-the-catch in the NFL to opposing tight ends: a puny 3.7 YAC.
When it comes to safeties in pass coverage, Baltimore’s collection of safeties has been fantastic this year, profiling as the best in football.
