Game Preview

The Baltimore Ravens head to Lambeau Field to take on the Green Bay Packers in a pivotal Week 17 matchup on Saturday, December 27 at 8:00 PM ET. Both teams are battling for playoff position, but they enter the game with very different outlooks, and injury lists.

Baltimore is likely to be without star quarterback Lamar Jackson, who is listed as Doubtful. That means backup Tyler Huntley is expected to start in a tough cold-weather road spot. Meanwhile, Green Bay is still clinging to playoff hopes but has lost momentum in recent weeks. They’re also banged up, with starting quarterback Jordan Love and several offensive linemen listed as Questionable.

The Packers enter as 5-point favorites, with the total set around 40.5. With cold December weather expected, and both offenses dealing with injury concerns, this game could turn into a grind.

Expect physical play, especially from Baltimore’s defense, and a heavy dose of the run game from both sides. With seeding and playoff survival on the line, every possession will matter.

Key Insights

  • The Ravens defense ranks in the 97th percentile in goal-line stuff rate, a major edge against a Packers offense that struggles in short-yardage.
  • Green Bay leads the league in third-and-long conversions (38.4%), often keeping drives alive with chunk plays.
  • Baltimore rarely uses no-huddle (2.9%), signaling a slower pace that could shorten the game.
  • The Packers’ pass defense allows explosive plays at just a 5.4% rate, among the best in the league.
  • Multiple injuries on Green Bay’s offensive line could leave Jordan Love vulnerable if he’s able to play.
  • Baltimore’s pass rush doesn’t hit home often, just a 3.8% sack rate when generating pressure, one of the league’s worst.

Betting Insights

  • The total is set at 40.5, with heavy juice on the Under (-125), reflecting cold weather and backup QB expectations.
  • Packers are -5.0 favorites (-114), but that line could shift if Jordan Love is ruled out.
  • Tyler Huntley is +235 to score a touchdown, solid value for a QB who runs often in red-zone packages.
  • Luke Musgrave’s receiving yards prop is just 24.5 (-123 Over), and he could benefit from short throws if Love is limited.
  • Keaton Mitchell Over 20.5 rushing yards (-115) offers upside in a possible run-heavy script with Huntley starting.
  • Jordan Love Under 228.5 passing yards (-120) looks sharp given injury uncertainty and protection concerns.

Final Summary

This game sets up as a playoff-style slugfest in the cold. The Ravens are likely turning to Tyler Huntley at quarterback, which limits their passing game but may add mobility. Green Bay is banged up across the board, with Jordan Love, Christian Watson, and multiple offensive linemen all listed as Questionable.

Baltimore’s defense thrives in short-yardage and red-zone spots, which could frustrate a Packers team that leans on explosive passes and third-down conversions. If Green Bay’s offensive line can’t hold up, this could turn into a field-position battle.

The betting market reflects the uncertainty. With a low total and a spread favoring Green Bay by 5, oddsmakers are baking in injuries on both sides. Keep an eye on final injury designations, especially at quarterback, as they’ll shift both team strategy and betting value.

Unless Love is fully cleared, the Ravens, with their physical defense and run game, may be the more reliable side to cover in a low-scoring fight.
