Injury note. Lamar Jackson is out, so Tyler Huntley starts at quarterback for Baltimore. Zay Flowers is questionable, and Ja'Kobi Lane, Adam Randall and Durham Smythe are also out for the Ravens. Atlanta is without Trey Sermon and Beaux Collins. Every number below reflects that.

Game type: Lean favorite, standard total

The Falcons are favored but not by much. The field will tilt toward Falcons MVPs without fully abandoning the Ravens.

How to build it: Make most MVPs Falcons, keep a meaningful share on the Ravens, and always bring back at least one player from the other side.

What the slate shape says before you look at a single player

Our simulations put this game at 44.6 total points, with the Falcons at 23.9 and the Ravens at 20.7, a spread of about 3 points. The Falcons are the side the field will lean on, but this is not a blowout on paper, and the Ravens are very much alive.

Even so, do not build only one side. Our study of 163 showdown slates found the perfect lineup took players from both sides in almost every slate, with a three to three or four to two split accounting for the clear majority. Building entirely on one team is the single most common way to lose a showdown you had right.
