Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens (6-3) come off the bye week looking to make a statement against Steve Wilks’ Carolina Panthers (3-7) in a Week 11 matchup.
The Ravens hope the week off provided good news for injured tight end Mark Andrews — who, if healthy, is likely to be a huge factor in the game. Meanwhile, the Panthers and their trio of quarterbacks are on the hunt for an upset against one of the NFL’s top teams. The game is scheduled to kick off Sunday at 1 p.m. ET from M&T Bank Stadium.

Baltimore is coming off its bye here, while Carolina got a mini-bye following its Thursday game. The Ravens are among the AFC’s best teams but so often have played incomplete games. They’ve covered their last two but had failed to do so in their last three. This line is a bit too rich for me, and I think the over is the safer play.
The Panthers have found some new life in recent weeks since firing Matt Rhule, but it won’t help them this week. Jackson and the Ravens are chasing the Super Bowl this season and should win at home against Carolina.
Baker Mayfield returns to start, but he’ll likely be banging his head against a defensive wall this time as fellow Heisman winner Jackson provides a defining look at the separation in talent. Baltimore has won three straight games.
