The Ravens and Dolphins face off this week in a key battle. Both entered the season as playoff hopefuls before a brutal 1-5 start. After impressive wins last week, they seek to build momentum.

| Baltimore Ravens | -7.5 (-105) |
The Ravens bounced back on Sunday in a much-needed win against the Bears. They still have a long way to go to get back into postseason contention, but a shaky AFC North division has created a window of opportunity for Baltimore. Unfortunately, they remain without starting QB Lamar Jackson, which will make it difficult to build a win streak. They'll rely on the defense to keep improving, similar to last week.

Miami is in a similar position as Baltimore, having finally achieved a strong win last week after a tough start to the year. Struggling QB Tua Tagovailoa looked a lot more like his old self in the dominant 34-10 road victory. The brightest spot for the Dolphins offense has been third-year RB De'Von Achane, who has tallied 774 scrimmage yards and 7 TDs in the first 8 games. WR Jaylen Waddle has also been red-hot.
Tua to Achane for 6!

This is an interesting matchup between two teams that desperately need this win to start building a winning streak. It's a bit surprising to see the Ravens favored by 7.5 points in Miami, especially with Lamar Jackson expected to remain out. After thumping the Falcons on the road last week, Miami should at the very least be capable of keeping this one close with the Huntley-led Ravens at home. Take Miami to cover.
