Joe Fagnano, an undrafted rookie quarterback from UConn, will make his first NFL start for the Baltimore Ravens (4-4) in Thursday Night Football Week 9 action against the Jacksonville Jaguars (5-2). Fagnano was forced into the starting role after starting quarterback Lamar Jackson suffered a thumb injury and backup Tyler Huntley sustained a season-ending toe injury in Baltimore's 36-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The 25-year-old completed 10-of-21 passes for 91 yards with one interception in his debut.
The Jaguars, who are 10-point favorites, recently defeated the Indianapolis Colts 42-7, with Trevor Lawrence throwing three touchdown passes and Bhayshul Tuten leading the team in rushing and receiving with career highs of 104 and 55 yards. Jacksonville holds a 13-11 all-time series advantage over Baltimore, though the Ravens have won seven of their last eight home meetings. With the Ravens' offense depleted, the Sports Line Projection Model predicts the Over hitting in 64% of simulations for the Thursday night matchup.
In addition to the TNF game, Thursday's sports slate includes two NBA contests, an 11-game NHL schedule, and a pair of college football games. Use the Caesars Sportsbook promo code CBSSPORTSBR250 to get $250 in bonus bets via bet resets.
