The most interesting bet is an anytime TD for Lamar Jackson, who is likely to score at least one as the team's quarterback in the vast majority of contests. The Dolphins have a leaky defense, making it likely for such a score to happen quickly on script. As such, betting on Jackson scoring in the first quarter is also interesting.

Multiple anytime TD bets make sense, including De'Von Achane, who has scored in all but two games this season. Derrick Henry also makes sense to get into the endzone at least once in the contest with Jackson around to help keep the defense honest.

Miami Dolphins vs. Baltimore Ravens: Head-to-Head

Baltimore and the Miami Dolphins have faced off 19 times, with the Ravens holding the series lead by a slim margin of 11-8. The Dolphins have won the matchup two of the last three times, but fell short 56-19 on New Year's Eve in 2023. The Dolphins will be looking to get the series back on track.

Miami Dolphins vs. Baltimore Ravens: Prediction for Week 9

The Ravens are suddenly quite healthy, while Tua Tagovailoa's Miami Dolphins have more injuries. The Ravens have held the edge in their most recent matchup as well. However, with the game taking place in Miami and the team's defense not playing up to its standard in recent years, expect a high-scoring affair.

The Ravens will ultimately win with a refreshed Lamar Jackson leading the charge, prompting even more questions as the Dolphins slide to 2-7.

Prediction: Ravens 40, Dolphins 32
