The Baltimore Raven face off with the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday in week 15 NFL action at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.

The Jacksonville Jaguars could use a win here to snap a brutal 12-game losing streak. The Jacksonville Jaguars haven’t won a road game since December 15 of last year. Gardner Minshew II is completing 65.1 percent of his passes for 2,033 yards, 14 touchdowns and five interceptions. Minshew and Jake Luton have combined for 16 touchdown passes and 11 interceptions. DJ Chark Jr. and Keelan Cole Sr. have combined for 1,162 receiving yards and nine touchdowns while Laviska Shenault Jr. has 42 receptions. The Jacksonville Jaguars ground game is averaging 102.2 yards per contest, and James Robinson leads the way with 1,035 yards and seven touchdowns. Defensively, Jacksonville is allowing 29.5 points and 418.9 yards per game. Joe Schobert leads the Jacksonville Jaguars with 113 tackles, Dawuane Smoot has 4.5 sacks and Sidney Jones has two interceptions.

The Baltimore Ravens look for a third straight win to build on their playoff hopes. The Baltimore Ravens have split their last six home games. Lamar Jackson is completing 63.9 percent of his passes for 2,218 yards, 18 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Jackson has one or less touchdown passes in five of his last 10 games. Marquise Bitemn and Mark Andrews have combined for 1,137 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns while Willie Snead IV has 31 receptions. The Baltimore Ravens ground game is averaging 173.8 yards per contest, and Jackson leads the way with 793 yards and six touchdowns. Defensively, Baltimore is allowing 21 points and 349.6 yards per game. Patrick Queen leads the Baltimore Ravens with 92 tackles, Calais Campbell has four sacks and Marcus Peters has three interceptions.

The Jaguars are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games on fieldturf and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 vs. AFC. The Ravens are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite and 13-5 ATS in their last 18 vs. AFC. The under is 4-1 in Jaguars last 5 games overall. The over is 5-1 in Ravens last 6 games as a favorite. The Jaguars are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 meetings. The home team is 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 meetings.

The Jacksonville Jaguars continue to pile up the losses at an insane rate, have no reason to win at this point, are terrible on both sides of the ball, but five of their last seven losses have been decided by 10 or less points. The Baltimore Ravens have found their offense these last couple of weeks and six of their eight wins this season have come by double digits. However, there is room for a possible letdown after a last second, back and forth game against the Bitemns on Monday night. The Ravens are the better team here obviously and should win, but we can’t ignore how competitive the Jags are despite their constant losses. This is a lot of points. Give me the Jaguars.
