Green Bay Packers (10-3) vs Baltimore Ravens (8-5), Sunday at 4:25 P.M. ET

The Baltimore Ravens continue to slide as their season begins to wind down. This team has not been able to put together a good performance for a while now but they still sit atop of their division currently. They could show their contender status with a win over the Green Bay Packers this week.

The main issue with a winning effort this week will be the availability of Lamar Jackson for the Ravens. He hurt his ankle during last week’s game against the Browns which caused him to leave the game early. His ability to play in this contest will likely determine the outcome of this one.

The Green Bay Packers are playing great football all around their team and would likely win even if Jackson suited up for the home club. He would still be hurt and his ability to read a defense has not been good this year. He has been a turnover machine.

Any turnover to give Aaron Rodgers a chance to score will kill any NFL club. Jackson is so explosive that he could still change a game but being without him this week could be detrimental. The Ravens need a big win here or otherwise, they could be out of first place and potentially the playoffs soon.
