Jaguars vs Ravens: what to expect on Thursday
This was meant to be one of the best Thursday games of the season. Two AFC playoff contenders, two star quarterbacks and a prime-time crowd at M&T Bank Stadium. Injuries have changed the picture. Lamar Jackson hurt his thumb on the first play of Baltimore’s Week 8 defeat by Buffalo and is out, with ESPN listing him on injured reserve and not expected back until mid-December. His backup, Tyler Huntley, also left that game with a toe injury and is listed as questionable or doubtful, depending on the source.
That leaves the Ravens 4-4 on a three-game losing streak, possibly starting their third-choice quarterback on a short week. Jacksonville arrive in the opposite mood. The Jaguars are 5-2, top of the AFC South, and they scored 42 points against the Colts in Week 8. Trevor Lawrence has 17 touchdown passes and just 4 interceptions this season, according to ESPN’s season leaders.
Watch the Jacksonville pass rush. Travon Walker is questionable with a rib injury, but if he plays against a reshuffled Baltimore offence, the Ravens could struggle to stay on schedule. For Baltimore, the hope is a strong running game and a home crowd that has rarely seen its team this vulnerable.
Thursday Night Football tonight on TV: how to watch
In the United States, Thursday Night Football tonight on Prime is exclusive to Prime Video, as it has been since 2022. Pre-game coverage, called TNF Tonight, starts at 7pm ET, and games kick off at 8:15pm ET. Amazon’s TNF guide confirms that each game also streams on NFL+ for phones and tablets, appears on Twitch, and is shown on local over-the-air stations in the two teams’ home markets.
How to watch Thursday Night Football from Nigeria
Prime Video in Nigeria does not carry TNF, because Amazon’s NFL rights cover the US only. Nigerian fans have two official options:
- ESPN Africa: ESPN and ESPN2 show live NFL coverage in more than 50 sub-Saharan markets, including Nigeria, with Thursday, Sunday and Monday prime-time games. See the NFL’s Africa ways-to-watch page.
- NFL Game Pass on DAZN: every game live and on demand, with the original US broadcast and NFL RedZone, inside the DAZN app.
One thing to plan for: a Thursday kickoff at 8:15pm ET becomes 2:15am WAT on Friday, now that US daylight saving time ended on 1 November. Before the clocks changed, the same game started at 1:15am WAT. If you watch Thursday Night Football tonight live, set an alarm, or catch the full replay on Game Pass on Friday morning. You will not need an NFL coverage map or NFL TV map for TNF either, because the game is national and every Prime Video subscriber in the US sees it.

Thanksgiving is different this year. The Thursday-night slot on 26 November belongs to NBC, with the Kansas City Chiefs at the Buffalo Bills at 8:20pm ET, so Prime Video moves to Black Friday. The Denver Broncos visit the Pittsburgh Steelers on Friday 27 November at 3pm ET, which is 9pm WAT, a rare TNF-branded game Nigerian fans can watch at a friendly hour. The NFL can also flex up to two Thursday games between Weeks 13 and 17, generally deciding at least 21 days in advance, so keep an eye on the official listings.
The standout dates are the Chiefs at the Rams on 3 December and the Texans at the Eagles on Christmas Eve. The Ravens host the Jaguars this week, and they visit Cincinnati on New Year’s Eve.

Jaguars vs Ravens betting angle with 8xbet
The market has swung hard since Jackson’s injury. FanDuel Research shows the line opening with Baltimore as 2.5-point favourites. By Monday, Jacksonville were 7.5-point favourites at FanDuel and DraftKings and 8.5 at others, per Sports Illustrated and ESPN. The total has dropped from 48.5 to 43.5 points.
The trends lean the same way. Baltimore are 2-6 against the spread this season and 0-3 against the spread at home. Sports Illustrated also reports that the Ravens are 7-13 in games Jackson has missed. Even so, a road favourite of more than a touchdown on a short week is a big ask. Many bettors will prefer a Jaguars moneyline in an accumulator, or the under if Baltimore start a backup quarterback.
