Ravens vs. Jets final score predictions: It’s not going to be pretty

Everyone here at Ravens Wire is predicting another lopsided victory for Baltimore as they take on the New York Jets in Week 15

It’s December, freezing cold and it’s time for football as the Baltimore Ravens host the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football. Arguably the best team in the league going up against one of the worst, Baltimore is rightfully a massive favorite in Week 15. It’s no surprise that us here at Ravens Wire are feeling pretty high about this game ourselves.

Before Baltimore kicks off tonight, take a look at our final score predictions for this game and how we expect it to play out.

Ravens 34 – Jets 10

It’s been the tale of the entire season: Can anyone stop quarterback Lamar Jackson. And against some of the best defenses in the league in terrible weather, the answer has been no. So why would it change this week against a struggling New York squad?

While the Jets at full health would probably be a pretty dangerous opponent, they’re about as beaten up as a team could get. They’ll be without key starters on both sides of the football, which just doesn’t bode well when trying to keep up with the Ravens. Just as we’ve seen repeatedly this season, Baltimore gets out to an early lead which completely kills the Jets’ offense and forces them to be one dimensional, where the Ravens can then be even more aggressive defensively. It’s a death spiral where Baltimore piles on the points before resting the starters in the second half.

The Jets don’t stand a chance based on recent results and the quick turnaround. They flat out stink on offense and the Ravens are proving that defensive rankings just don’t matter against them right now. Baltimore jumps out to a quick lead that allows them to rest Jackson and that ailing quad in the fourth quarter.

Ravens 52 – Jets 17

To keep line with my bold prediction, the Ravens rain hellfire down onto the Jets under the bright lights of primetime football. Lamar Jackson is going to pad his stats before maybe being deactivated for the end of the season if the Ravens lock up the North and the #1 seed.

The wide receivers and tight ends put on a show for the home crowd and folks start to leave in the third quarter because of the score disparity.

Ravens 27 – Jets 6

The Ravens offense has cooled a bit of late, which is understandable given how good they had been and also considering the quality of opposition they’ve faced. But this is something a get right game against one of the leagues sorriest offenses. Even if Lamar Jackson is slightly under the weather, a likely Jamal Adams-less Jets defense should be no match for the Ravens.

Alex Bente

Ravens 30 – Jets 0

The Ravens’ offense should control this game from the onset, sustaining long drives that take loads of time of the clock, but I don’t expect them to dig too deep into their bag of tricks. A steady dose of the run game along with the occasional deep ball should be all Baltimore needs to take care of business.

The defense, on the other hand, will make short work of the Jets’ offense . . . or lack thereof. Hungry after nearly letting the Bills even the score on the game’s final drive, watch as the defense punishes the visiting team in front of a fired-up home crowd. The Jets fail to score as the Ravens cruise to their 10th-straight win, a repeat division title and one step closer to securing home-field advantage in the playoffs.

Ravens 35 – Jets 13

I’ve been calling it close for the Ravens in most games and they’ve blown out teams, so now it’s my turn to call a blowout. This Jets team is extremely banged up right now, and although the Ravens are certainly still feeling the effects from the Bills game on Sunday, I expect a dominant showing from Lamar Jackson and company, as well as the defense. I expect a lot of pressure looks to be dialed up by Don Martindale and a run-heavy game plan employed by Greg Roman. I don’t think Lamar Jackson plays a full game in this one, but not because of injury. Instead, the Ravens take advantage of their dominance to get their second-year signal caller some much-needed rest and let Robert Griffin III get some playing time
