A pivotal late-season, inter-conference battle is set for Week 17 as the Baltimore Ravens (7-8, 4-2 away, 5-10 ATS, 9-6 O/U) travel to face the Green Bay Packers (9-5-1, 5-2 home, 6-9 ATS, 8-7 O/U) at Lambeau Field at 8:00 pm ET.
The Packers have clinched a playoff spot and still have an outside chance of catching the Bears for the NFC North crown. The Ravens, on the other hand, watched their playoff hopes get put on life support after losing to the Patriots last Sunday. They need to win out and hope the Steelers lose out in order to clinch the AFC North title and book a spot in the NFL playoff bracket.
The main storyline casting a shadow over this matchup is the health of both star quarterbacks; Green Bay QB1 Jordan Love (concussion) has already been ruled out, leaving Malik Willis at the reins, while Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson (back) is doubtful. The QB injuries will inevitably put the spotlight on elite running backs Derrick Henry and Josh Jacobs.
My comprehensive preview will dissect the betting odds, key injuries, and statistical mismatches to identify the smartest wagers.

Ravens vs Packers Picks & Prediction
BAL vs GB ATS Pick: Packers -3.0 (-105) at DraftKings
This matchup appears closer on paper than the underlying efficiency metrics suggest. While the quarterback injuries for both Jackson and Love introduce significant volatility, the Packers hold distinct, quantifiable advantages in critical offensive situations that form the foundation for backing the home favorites.
The most telling disparity lies in situational offense, where Green Bay has been remarkably effective on crucial downs – a trend that could be the deciding factor in a game with a low point total.
The Packers’ ability to convert over half of their third downs contrasts sharply with Baltimore’s struggles, which are apt to continue against a Green Bay defense that sits eighth overall at PFF.
The Ravens’ inefficiency in the red zone (45.3%) and their season-long turnover issues (-5 differential) put immense pressure on their defense to play a perfect game.
The Packers sustain drives, protect the football better, and turn red-zone trips into touchdowns at a much higher clip than Baltimore. In a game where points will be at a premium, those advantages are magnified.
BAL vs GB Game-Total Pick: Under 38.5 (-105) at DraftKings
Both starting quarterbacks are banged up, which will inevitably limit explosive plays and deep passing attacks. The Ravens feature a run-heavy offense centered around Henry (2,218 team rushing yards), a style that naturally shortens the game.
With Baltimore’s red-zone offense struggling to score touchdowns (even when healthy), we could see promising drives stall out for field goal attempts.
Best Ravens vs Packers Prop Bet: Josh Jacobs Over 58.5 Rushing Yards (-110) at DraftKings
This line has seen significant movement, jumping from an opener of 49.5 yards. That 9-yard adjustment signals strong market confidence. Even with a knee designation, the Packers will likely lean on their run game to control the clock and protect a potentially limited Love.

Baltimore Ravens vs Green Bay Packers Odds
The best Packer moneyline is currently -154 at FanDuel, while the longest odds on a Ravens upset are +135 at BetMGM. The spread is GB -3.0 across the board with only slight adjustments in the price from site to site.
The game total ranges from 38.0 (Ov -110) at bet365 to 38.5 (Un -110) at FanDuel and DraftKings. All of those totals are well down from the opening O/U of 40.5, with the odds movement largely driven by the QB injuries.

Ravens vs Packers Public Betting Trends
Saturday’s NFL public betting splits show a fascinating dichotomy, with the vast majority of the moneyline bets (73%) flowing toward the home-favorite Packers but Baltimore getting 58% of moneyline handle.
The spread and total are far less divergent. The Packers are getting 52% of ATS wagers and exactly 50% of ATS handle. The over has attracted 58% of O/U money on 60% of bets.
Ravens vs Packers Statistical Comparison
When examining how these teams stack up, the season-long statistics paint a picture of two evenly matched yet fundamentally different squads. While their scoring outputs are nearly identical, the paths they take diverge significantly, with Green Bay relying on balanced efficiency and Baltimore leaning on powerful ground attack undermined by turnovers.
