Ravens likely without MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson with season on the line vs Packers

Colin Cowherd lists his best bets entering week 16 of the 2025/26 NFL season, including the Chicago Bears beating the Green Bay Packers, and the New England Patriots beating the Baltimore Ravens.

The Baltimore Ravens are in must-win mode for the remainder of the season if they wish to make the playoffs, but it’s likely their star quarterback won’t be able to help them achieve that goal.

Jackson hasn’t practiced all week for Baltimore, and it couldn’t be worse timing considering the playoff implications the team faces in the final two weeks.
