The Baltimore Ravens, fresh off a bye week, will take on the Los Angeles Rams in M&T Bank Stadium this weekend. The Ravens are competing with the Miami Dolphins, Kansas City Chiefs and Jacksonville Jaguars for the lone AFC bye week at the moment. With so much on the line, I’m picking the over on a Lamar Jackson player prop for Sunday’s Rams-Ravens game.

Lamar Jackson Player Prop Bet
Post-bye Lamar Jackson is a beast. When he took over the Baltimore Ravens offense after the bye in 2018, he racked up 119 rushing yards on 26 attempts. During his MVP campaign in 2019, Jackson erupted for 61 rushing yards on 16 attempts. He ran for 65 on 16 in 2020, 120 on 21 in 2021, and 31 on 11 in 2022. Jackson has been dealing with an injury this week, but he should be good to go.
Jackson and the Ravens have been moving away from using Jackson as a rusher, but this is a spot where I expect him to flash his mobility. Jackson lit up the Rams for 95 rushing yards on just eight attempts in 2019.
These are two very different teams now, but the Rams still struggle against mobile quarterbacks. They have coughed up 208 rushing yards to quarterbacks this year. Anthony Richardson scampered for 56 yards on the ground against them in early October. Jalen Hurts went for 72 and Joshua Dobbs went for 47. The Rams did hold Kyler Murray to just two rushing yards two weeks ago, but Murray was working back from injury, and he only ran one time.
I trust Jackson to get over the 47.5 that’s currently available at bet365. Jackson is averaging 47.8 rushing yards per game this year, beating this number in five of his 12 starts. He averaged 63.7 rushing yards per game last year, clearing the over in eight of 12 starts. While new offensive coordinator Todd Monken and Baltimore’s front office have done a good job putting Jackson in a situation where he doesn’t need to use his legs as much, his historic post-bye numbers suggest this is a spot we’ll see plenty of scrambles from him.
