Jason La CanforaOct 16, 2026

Previewing the Ravens' trip to Cleveland with backup Snoop Huntley starting, they expect Baltimore to keep rookie Vega Ioane at center rather than rushing Cam Jurgens back, and to lean on a horizontal passing attack plus heavy Derrick Henry volume against a Browns run defense ranked 30th in EPA and success rate.

Albert Breer · Trade and Signing Calls · Jacoby Brissett · Hit 100
Breer argues the Jaguars should be taken very seriously, seeing a path to 13 wins and the AFC's No. 1 seed with a first-round bye, and they expect the Jacoby Brissett trade to Baltimore to be completed within a day.
Nathan Jahnke · Trade and Signing Calls · Jacoby Brissett · Hit 100
In a Week 9 recap, Jahnke expects Mark Andrews to remain Baltimore's lead tight end but says rookie Matt Hibner is more likely than Josh Cuevas to eventually overtake them, and they anticipate the Ravens acquiring Jacoby Brissett to start at quarterback. They also suggest Brian Thomas Jr. may have played their final game for Jacksonville ahead of the trade deadline.
Nic Bodiford · Depth Chart Calls · Joe Fagnano · Hit 100
Previewing Week 9 running game matchups, Bodiford expects Jacksonville to win lopsidedly over a depleted Baltimore team, with Bhayshul Tuten sitting out and Chris Rodriguez taking over as lead back, while Joe Fagnano starts at quarterback for the Ravens. They also view Broncos rookie Jonah Coleman as an RB2 going forward.
Mike Florio · Roster Spot Calls · Jake Moody · Miss 0
Florio expects Jake Moody to be promoted from Baltimore's practice squad to the 53-man roster if Tyler Loop lands on injured reserve.
Rich Eisen · Game Outcome Picks · Baltimore Ravens · Miss 0
Eisen gave a top-10 power ranking of NFL "game wreckers," predicted Will Anderson Jr. wrecks a game at least twice for the Texans this year, and walked through a Jaguars game-by-game prediction landing on a 13-4 record.
John Breech · Trade and Signing Calls · Jacoby Brissett · Hit 100
Breech picks the Jaguars to blow out the quarterback-depleted Ravens on Thursday night, and in Week 9 takes the Bengals to outlast the Falcons in a Madrid shootout. They also expect Jacoby Brissett to be a Raven within 48 hours and to make their first Baltimore start in Week 11.
