Derrick Henry can run through a brick wall, and that’s exactly what he’ll do when the Baltimore Ravens host the New England Patriots on Sunday Night Football in Week 16.<\/p>\n
My Patriots vs. Ravens predictions are all over the running back under the prime-time lights.<\/p>\n
Read on for my full NFL picks<\/a> on Sunday, December 21.<\/p>\n Patriots vs Ravens prediction<\/p>\n Patriots vs Ravens best bet: Derrick Henry Over 79.5 rushing yards (-114)<\/p>\n Although Derrick Henry<\/a>\u2019s output dipped a bit toward the end of November, the Baltimore Ravens<\/a>\u2019 battering ram has rumbled for 94 and 100 yards in his last two outings. The New England Patriots<\/a> do present a stiffer test than Baltimore\u2019s last two opponents, but what was once the league\u2019s best run-stopping unit has shown major cracks with key players going down in the second half of the season.<\/p>\n Since losing standout DT Milton Williams, New England has gone from a Top 8 defense in EPA allowed per carry and opponent success rate per run to 30th and 31st in those advanced metrics since Week 11.<\/p>\n On top of missing Williams for at least one more week, the Patriots’ defensive depth chart is littered with injuries in the front seven. Three of four starting linebackers currently carry questionable designations.<\/p>\n Last week, the Pats buckled for 168 yards on 37 carries from the Bills\u2019 ground game, and with Ravens QB Lamar Jackson<\/a> missing time due to the flu, New England will get two scoops of \u201cKing Henry\u201d on Sunday night.<\/p>\n Player projections for Henry range from 71 yards to a high of 83.5, with the bulk of those forecasts sitting above his current rushing yards total. If carrying Baltimore to the postseason isn\u2019t motivation enough, Henry also faces his former head coach, Mike Vrabel.<\/p>\n Enjoying Covers content? Add us as a preferred source on your Google account Henry seems to heat up as the weather gets colder. He faces a Patriots run stop that has fallen off the face of the earth since Week 11.\u00a0<\/p>\n Who better to finish off those drives than the man who got you there? Henry will get some goal-line plunges.<\/p>\n Maye faces a Ravens defense really stepping it up in terms of disguising coverage and getting after the QB. He\u2019ll be forced to tuck and run.<\/p>\n Patriots vs Ravens SGP<\/p>\n Derrick Henry Over 79.5 rushing yards Our big-ticket SGP: They Forgot About TreVeyon<\/p>\n Henry has rushed for 90+ yards in two straight games, and projections call for up to 83.5 yards on SNF.<\/p>\n With Lamar under the weather, Henry could get more than the usual workload, including extra touches in the red zone.<\/p>\n Maye is projected for more than 28 rushing yards and rushed for 43 yards in Week 15.<\/p>\n TreVeyon Henderson<\/a> is proving to be an all-around weapon and has registered 13 receiving yards or more in four straight games.<\/p>\n Patriots vs Ravens SGP<\/p>\n Derrick Henry Over 79.5 rushing yards Patriots vs Ravens game predictions This is going to be a very close game, and I did lean toward New England earlier in the week.<\/p>\n However, the Baltimore defense has improved significantly in the second half of the season, and if Henry can dominate on the ground, I see the Ravens keeping their postseason dreams alive on SNF.<\/p>\n Patriots vs Ravens spread prediction<\/p>\n This spread opened at Baltimore -2.5 and has since jumped to -3.<\/p>\n Even with Lamar Jackson missing practice due to his annual illness (which seems to hit around this time every year), injuries to the Patriots\u2019 defense will prove costly.\u00a0<\/p>\n Patriots vs Ravens Over\/Under prediction<\/p>\n If Baltimore leans on the run, it will slow the game and stretch each possession.<\/p>\n The Ravens\u2019 defense has its gaps, but defensive coordinator Zach Orr has tightened the bolts in recent weeks.<\/p>\n Baltimore has been a Top 4 defense since Week 11, and I could see this game staying under the total, which sits just above the key 47-point mark.<\/p>\n Patriots vs Ravens odds<\/p>\n Spread: New England +2.5 (-110) | Baltimore -2.5 (-110) Patriots vs Ravens betting trend to know<\/p>\n Under coach John Harbaugh (since 2008), Baltimore is 19-26 O\/U (58% Unders) at home when the spread closes at a field goal or shorter (-3 to +3).
