Tight end Ertz in line for big game, but Lamar will prove too much for Eagles

Ravens (4-1) at Eagles (1-3-1)

1 p.m. ET | CBS

Matchup rating: 67.2 | Spread: BAL -7.5 (47.5)

What to watch for: Opposing tight ends have racked up 32 catches for 323 yards and five touchdowns through five games against the Eagles, with much of that damage coming against a struggling linebacking corps. Enter Baltimore's Mark Andrews, who is tied for third in the NFL with five receiving scores. -- Tim McManus

Bold prediction: Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson will throw at least four TD passes. Jackson, last season's NFL leader in touchdown passes, hasn't thrown for more than three in a game since his MVP season. But the Eagles have allowed 10 touchdown passes this season, and only five teams have given up more. -- Jamison Hensley

Stat to know: Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz has a 53.1 Total QBR this season (25th in the NFL) and a league-leading nine interceptions. No Eagles QB has led the NFL in picks over a full season since the 1970 merger.

Injuries: Ravens | Eagles

What to know for fantasy: Jackson had just one game last season with fewer than 19 fantasy points. But he has been under 19 fantasy points in three of his past four games. See Week 6 rankings.

Betting nugget: Jackson is 8-0 outright and 6-0-2 against the spread (ATS) in his career as a road favorite. Read more.

Hensley's pick: Ravens 31, Eagles 23

McManus' pick: Ravens 33, Eagles 20

FPI prediction: BAL, 73.5% (by an average of 8.6 points)
