Ravens vs Packers Preview
Jordan Love was not able to clear concussion protocol on a short week and has been ruled out for tonight's game. With Malik Willis getting the nod under center, this number shows value on the under.
In the second half of last week's game against the Bears, the Willis-led Packers had a 40% dropback rate, and in the two starts he made in 2024, Green Bay called passing plays at a league-low 33%.
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur is going to lean on the ground game on Saturday to protect his backup signal-caller.
The Ravens' rush defense ranks 14th in yards per carry allowed to running backs, and they have stuffed runs at the line of scrimmage at just a 17% rate, which ranks 19th in the NFL. Green Bay should be able to run the ball effectively by sticking to the game plan. However, it’s worth noting that Baltimore allows explosive runs at a respectable 4.6% rate, which means the Packers will have to sustain drives methodically.
Josh Jacobs averaged fewer than four yards per touch on his 14 opportunities last week, and it’s clear some of his explosive ability has been thwarted due to his knee ailment. Emanuel Wilson had the hot hand in the Packers’ loss to the Bears a week ago, but his downhill running style doesn’t exactly translate into the threat of breaking a long run that results in a scoring play.
Furthermore, when the Packers have been in scoring position, they have been struggling to turn those chances into touchdowns. Green Bay’s red-zone touchdown rate is 58%, ranking 16th in the league, but over the last two games, the Packers are just 1-of-9 in this critical area of the field.
Green Bay’s defense allows 1.5 points per drive at Lambeau Field this season. Only the Bears in Week 14 have scored 20 points against the Packers in Green Bay, and prior to that, road teams were averaging 13.8 points per game at Lambeau.
Tyler Huntley is expected to make the start in place of the injured Lamar Jackson (doubtful) for the Ravens. In Huntley's lone start this year, Baltimore’s offense under Todd Monken opted to pass the ball 9% below expectation.
It’s no secret the Ravens will feature Derrick Henry, but once again, his signature ability to break off long runs is unlikely to come to fruition. The Packers allow explosive runs at the second-lowest rate in the NFL, and the 199 yards allowed on carries gaining 15 or more yards is the fewest for any rush defense in the NFL this season.
The methodical approach for both teams is the theme here, and it really is the only avenue each offense has to sustain drives.
Even without Micah Parsons in the lineup, the Packers were able to generate a 47% pressure rate against Caleb Williams, which was the best for any team in Week 16.
Monken and head coach John Harbaugh will not want to expose Huntley to this pressure often, but inevitably, the many third downs Huntley is sure to face will result in a few drive-killing sacks.
Per Pro Football Focus, the Packers and Ravens rank first and fourth, respectively, in defensive tackling grade this season. These are two defenses that are going to make the opposing offense work for every yard.
Ravens vs Packers Predictions; Over/Under Pick
It looks like we're getting a battle of backup quarterbacks in this game with Malik Willis and Tyler Huntley.
I liked the under when it was at 40.5 before Jordan Love was ruled out, and I still like the adjusted number at 38.5. I'd bet to down to 38 points.
Pick: Under 38.5; bet to Under 38
