Thursday night brings a matchup between two AFC opponents trending in different directions. The Ravens are rolling behind the return of Lamar Jackson, while the Dolphins are fighting to stay relevant. With elite speed on one sideline and disciplined physicality on the other, this primetime showdown offers several sharp player prop angles.
Lamar Jackson Under 1.5 Passing Touchdowns
Jackson has been efficient but selective through the air this season. He’s been out since Week 4 with a hamstring injury, but returns to face a Dolphins defense that ranks 11th in passing yards allowed per game (199.4) and has not surrendered more than three passing touchdowns in any contest. Miami’s secondary forces opponents to string drives together instead of relying on deep strikes, keeping explosive plays at a minimum.
Baltimore should run the ball on more than half of its offensive snaps with Jackson returning from injury. The under on 1.5 passing touchdowns holds strong value in what should be a low-volume aerial night.
Tip: Bet Lamar Jackson under 1.5 passing touchdowns
- Lamar efficent and selective
-
Jackson rusty early

De’Von Achane Over 32.5 Receiving Yards
Achane’s workload continues to expand, and his usage profile points toward more involvement through the air against Baltimore’s aggressive front. He has a 63.4 percent carry share this year and one of the league’s best yards-after-contact averages at 3.65. That means the Dolphins are getting him involved in the passing game and setting him up for dynamic run-after-the-catch opportunities.
With the Ravens’ pass rush likely to pressure Tua Tagovailoa quickly, Achane should serve as a frequent outlet on checkdowns and screens. His combination of speed and burst gives him the ability to clear this number on just a few receptions. Expect Miami to design touches in space to counter Baltimore’s blitz-heavy approach.
Tip: Bet De’Von Achane over 32.5 receiving yards

Achane Playing well

Zay Flowers Over 5.5 Receptions
Flowers’ role in the offense has quietly expanded into that of a true number one receiver. He has 19 targets over the past two weeks and is the focal point of the Ravens’ passing attack.
The Dolphins have allowed completions on 77.5 percent of passes this season, the highest mark in the NFL, and have surrendered double-digit receptions to lead receivers in multiple contests. Expect Jackson to feed Flowers early on high-percentage routes.

Lamar Jackson Over 35.5 Rushing Yards
Few props feel safer than Jackson’s rushing floor in a big spot. He has averaged 6.4 carries and 64 yards per game over his last three, and his mobility remains Baltimore’s best weapon when defenses collapse the pocket. Miami’s cornerbacks rank among the league’s worst tackling units, which should create open lanes when coverage drops deep.
The Dolphins struggle to contain mobile quarterbacks, so Jackson should comfortably surpass this total. Designed runs and broken plays alike will keep the former MVP active on the ground all night.
Tip: Bet Lamar Jackson over 35.5 rushing yards
- Jackson is back
-
Averages over 6 yds per carry
