Thursday night football in week 9 of the 2025 NFL season is a showdown in the AFC between the Baltimore Ravens and the Miami Dolphins.
Let’s dive into my predictions for the vs. dolphins.
Baltimore Ravens VS. Miami dolphins going wrong
Money Line: Ravens -425 / Dolphins +325
Spread: Ravens -7.5 (-110) / Dolphins +7.5 (-110)
Total: Over 50.5 (-110) / Under 50.5 (-110)
Baltimore Ravens vs Miami Dolphins best bet #1: Ravens -7.5 (-110)
Both teams won last week, but the Ravens’ result is more talked about. Their route of their bears was an indication of that if Be-what all should have been and what they will continue to be in the future. Spoiled by injuries early in the season, head coach John Harbaugh’s squad is just 2-5. When healthy, however, Baltimore is one of the most talented teams in football. It finally has a clean bill of health — and it played like one last Sunday (although Lamar Jackson is still in the draft).
The Dolphins are 2-6 after beating Atlanta 34-10 on the road in Week 8. Remember that Atlanta was playing backup quarterback Cousins. Yes, the cousins who walk ‘through those doors when the crows visit South Beach. Lamar Jackson is back for the first time since September, so Miami’s defense will face some of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. In addition, Derrick Henry scored two touchdowns last Sunday and has rushed for 193 yards in the past two games. Yes, he doesn’t wash. It’s also worth noting that training can be a big deal when teams play on a short week, which is obviously the case with Thursday night football. Let’s go with the guests to conquer and cover.
Baltimore Ravens vs Miami Dolphins Best Player Bet: De’von Achane over 56.5 rushing yards (-114)
Miami must commit to running the ball Thursday. The best chance to limit Jackson and Henry will follow them in the bowl as long as possible, to keep the clock running. In addition, Baltimore’s run defense is not good. The ravens yielded 1288.9 yards rushing per contest on 4.5 yards per carry. Achane passed the 60-yard mark on the last five possessions, a stretch that included runs of 82, 99, and 128 yards.
