Falcons vs. Ravens odds, predictions, start time, betting preview: Sunday Night Football picks, best bets

The Atlanta Falcons look to extend their recent dominance when they face the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football, aiming for a fourth straight primetime victory. The Falcons, riding a pair of commanding wins over the Packers and Saints, enter the game as 3.5-point favorites, while Lamar Jackson’s absence due to an ankle injury leaves Baltimore’s offense in uncharted territory with backup Tyler Huntley at quarterback.

Atlanta’s offensive firepower has been on full display, with Bijan Robinson and Brian Robinson combining for multiple rushing touchdowns in their last outing, a trend that could continue against a Ravens defense without its star signal-caller. Meanwhile, the over/under for combined points sits at 43.5, reflecting the high-scoring potential of both teams, though the Falcons’ recent form suggests they may push the total higher.

Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. ET at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, where Atlanta’s home crowd will add to the intensity of the matchup.

Jackson’s injury has shifted the focus to Huntley, who has struggled in past starts, posting a career record of 7-9 with 14 touchdowns and 12 turnovers as a starter. His limited success, particularly in the Ravens’ system, adds an extra layer of uncertainty for Baltimore, while Atlanta’s offensive line and dual-threat backs could exploit any defensive vulnerabilities.

The Falcons’ ability to sustain their scoring surge will be key, as they look to maintain their momentum in what has become a critical stretch of the season.
