Game Preview of Baltimore Ravens @ Green Bay Packers. Week 17 of 2025 NFL Season
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.

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.
