Miami Dolphins vs Baltimore Ravens Picks and Predictions October 30th 2025

Baltimore Ravens vs Miami Dolphins Game Preview

The Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins square off on Thursday Night Football at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. Kickoff is set for 8:15 PM ET on October 30, 2025, with the game streamed exclusively on Amazon Prime.

Both teams are desperate to stay alive in the AFC playoff picture after slow starts to the season. Baltimore (2-5) snapped a four-game skid last week with a 30-16 win over Chicago, while Miami (2-6) looked rejuvenated in a 34-10 victory over Atlanta.

The key storyline: Lamar Jackson is expected to return for Baltimore after missing three games with a hamstring injury.

Line Movement and Odds

Baltimore opened as a 7.5-point favorite, with the total sitting at 51. The Ravens’ moneyline is listed at -427, while the Dolphins are home underdogs at +332.

Baltimore Ravens Outlook

Baltimore’s offense is set to look very different with Lamar Jackson back under center. Before his hamstring injury, Jackson had thrown for 10 touchdowns against just one interception, completing over 71% of his passes. The Ravens averaged 37 points per game in his first three starts this season — compared to just 13 combined points in Cooper Rush’s two appearances.

Running back Derrick Henry continues to power the offense, scoring twice in last week’s win. The return of Jackson should open up running lanes and create opportunities for tight end Mark Andrews and receiver Zay Flowers in the passing game.

On defense, Baltimore remains among the most disruptive units in the league, ranking second in sacks last year and forcing key turnovers in back-to-back games. The secondary, led by Nate Wiggins and Kyle Hamilton, faces a big test against Miami’s vertical attack.

Injury Report

• Ronnie Stanley (OT) – Questionable, Ankle
• Broderick Washington Jr. (DE) – Out, Ankle
• Nnamdi Madubuike (DT) – Out, Neck
• Ar’Darius Washington (S) – Out, Achilles

• Nate Wiggins (CB) – Probable, Groin
• T.J. Tampa (CB) – Probable, Shoulder

Miami Dolphins Outlook

The Dolphins finally showed signs of life last week with a convincing 34-10 win over Atlanta. Tua Tagovailoa had his best performance of the season, throwing for four touchdowns while completing 20 of 26 passes. His chemistry with Jaylen Waddle was back on display, connecting for 99 yards and a score.

Miami’s defense dominated the line of scrimmage, limiting the Falcons to just 45 rushing yards. Coordinator Anthony Weaver praised his unit’s physicality, but the challenge ramps up significantly against Jackson and Derrick Henry.

Injuries continue to be a problem. Tyreek Hill (knee) remains out, leaving Waddle and rookie Malik Washington as the top receiving targets. The offensive line is thin with multiple starters sidelined, which could make protection a major concern.

Injury Report

• Tyreek Hill (WR) – Out, Knee
• Bradley Chubb (LB) – Questionable, Foot/Shoulder
• Ashtyn Davis (S) – Questionable, Quadriceps
• Darren Waller (TE) – Out, Pectoral
• James Daniels (G) – Out, Pectoral
• Alexander Mattison (RB) – Out, Neck
• Jason Sanders (K) – Out, Hip
• Austin Jackson (OL) – Out, Toe

Betting Trends

• Ravens are 7-1 to the Over in their last 8 regular-season games.
• Ravens are 4-1 to the Over in their last 5 road games.
• Dolphins are 6-0 to the Over in their last 6 home games.
• Dolphins are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home contests.
• Ravens are 9-4 ATS as favorites in their last 13 games.

Prediction

This matchup features two teams finally showing signs of life — but Baltimore’s ceiling is far higher with Lamar Jackson healthy. Miami’s offensive line injuries and missing Tyreek Hill could limit their ability to match Baltimore’s scoring pace.

Projected Score: Ravens 31, Dolphins 21
