NFL Week 9 early odds: Ravens become home underdogs to Jaguars after Lamar Jackson injury

Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season after injuring his right thumb on the opening snap against Buffalo, requiring surgery following a brief return from an ankle issue. Head coach Jesse Minter confirmed the severe roster blow postgame, which leaves the team's quarterback depth chart in chaos due to an injury status for backup Tyler Huntley and the potential reliance on rookie Joe Fagnano.

That uncertainty under center has drastically shifted betting markets for an upcoming Week 9 contest, turning Baltimore from a three-point home favorite into an 8.5-point underdog against Jacksonville. The opening over-under for the matchup also plummeted significantly, highlighting the massive impact of losing a two-time league most valuable player.
