The Ravens won handily without him, though, and they&#8217;re 7.5-point favourites with the two-time MVP back in the fold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out my Ravens vs. Dolphins picks for Oct. 30, featuring prop bets on Miami&#8217;s De&#8217;Von Achane and Baltimore&#8217;s Isaiah Likely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\">Join NorthStar Bets to start betting on the NFL<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ravens vs. Dolphins picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:120400\">Embed: #120400<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best Bet: Achane over 63.5 rush yards (-118)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Will Jackson&#8217;s looming return help Baltimore figure out how to play defence? There&#8217;s no correlation there, so I&#8217;m not counting on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Ravens rank 30th in points allowed  (30.0\/game) and 28th in yards allowed (379.6\/game)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>According to RBSDM.com, Baltimore ranks 30th in defensive EPA per play and 27th in run defence success rate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite those unsightly metrics, not a lot of opposing tailbacks have actually cleared this yardage prop against the Ravens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I like Achane&#8217;s chances because his opportunity share feels secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\">Bet on De&#8217;Von Achane and more Ravens vs. Dolphins prop markets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Achane has 10+ carries in seven straight games and is averaging 13.4 rush attempts on the season. Last week, he totalled 18 carries (his second-highest mark of the year) for 67 yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third-year back is 4-1 vs. this prop in his past five games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both of Achane&#8217;s backups, Ollie Gordon and Jaylen Wright, saw a fair bit of action in last week&#8217;s win. But that was a blowout victory for Miami, so it makes sense that the team would share the love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Achane still owns a 77% snap share on the season, though, while neither of his backups is above 25%. This is still very much his backfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Since Week 3, Achane is averaging 75.7 rush yards\/game on 5.1 yards\/attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TNF prop bet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Likely over 21.5 receiving yards (-118):<\/strong> Likely missed a chunk of training camp and the first few weeks of the season with a foot injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s still getting up to speed, but I think the breakout game could come at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Last year, Likely averaged 29.8 yards in 16 games for the Ravens.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In 19 games with Lamar Jackson since the start of 2024-25, Likely is 11-8 vs. this prop while averaging 31.7 YPG.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Miami is in the top eight in targets, receptions and yards allowed to opposing tight ends. So the matchup is compelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\">Place your NFL wagers now at NorthStar Bets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Likely last faced Miami, in 2023 with Lamar, the tight end caught two of three targets for 42 yards and two TDs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mark Andrews has dominated the target share for Ravens TEs so far in 2025, but I believe Likely&#8217;s time is coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though he missed Weeks 1-3, Likely jumped right back into a healthy snap share in Week 4. From then on, him and Mark Andrews have seen almost an identical volume of snaps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thursday Night Football O\/U pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Over 50.5 points (-110):<\/strong> I&#8217;ve already talked down on the Ravens defence, so it might come as no surprise to know that overs are 6-1-0 in Baltimore&#8217;s games this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But did you know that overs are 6-1-1 in Miami&#8217;s games?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\">Don&#8217;t miss out \u2014 Bet on Thursday Night Football<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s right, this matchup pits two of the most overs-friendly squads against each other. Two struggling defences, as well as Jackson&#8217;s return, give me ample faith in another scoring binge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thursday&#8217;s weather in Miami is shaping up to be excellent \u2014 mid-20s (Celsius) and dry \u2014 so there are no concerns on that front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the 2023 season, overs are 13-7-0 when Miami is at home. The Dolphins&#8217; three home games this year have featured an average of 54.7 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both of the Ravens&#8217; road games this year had at least 57 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Ravens vs. Dolphins<\/em> <em>picks made at 1:20 p.m. ET 10\/28\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\">Sign up to NorthStar Bets today<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lamar Jackson is expected to return for the Baltimore Ravens&#8217; Thursday Night Football clash against the Miami Dolphins.
