The Ravens and Dolphins open Week 9 on Thursday night in a matchup between a pair of two-win teams suddenly showing signs of life.
Baltimore snapped a four-game skid with a 30-16 win over Chicago behind backup Tyler Huntley, while Miami stunned Atlanta 34-10 as a touchdown underdog.
Lamar Jackson is expected to return from a hamstring injury that sidelined him since Week 4, giving the Ravens a boost as 7.5-point road favorites.
The total sits at 50.5 — one of the highest of the week — reflecting two offenses trending up and two defenses trending down.

What our Post expert thinks about Ravens vs. Dolphins
Baltimore ranks near the bottom in pressure rate (14.1%) and opponent completion percentage (68.1%), while Miami owns the NFL’s worst mark at 73.7%.
Both defenses are bottom-10 in EPA and red-zone efficiency, creating a setup ripe for points.
Miami has hit the Over in nine straight home games and averages 27 points per outing in those contests, while Baltimore has gone 6-1 to the Over this year, clearing 30 points in seven of Jackson’s last eight starts.
The Dolphins’ inability to stop downhill runners could make Derrick Henry a focal point again after a two-touchdown outing, while Tua Tagovailoa’s quick-game precision and pre-snap motion present a real challenge for a Ravens defense struggling to communicate and get home.
