Ravens-Patriots Preview and Predictions (12/21)

The Patriots are 11-3 and one of the biggest surprises of the 2025 season. Rookie QB Drake Maye has been excellent, throwing for 2,836 passing yards, 20 TDs, and just 5 INTs (257.8 YPG) in 11 games. He’s also added 285 rushing yards and 2 rushing TDs.

The Patriots are averaging 27.3 PPG (382 points in 14 games), and their defense has been solid. Offensively, they lean on RB TreVeyon Henderson and veteran Rhamondre Stevenson, with Stefon Diggs as the WR1. Mike Vrabel should be giving more snaps to the explosive rookie, Henderson, but he loves his vets!

Lamar Jackson is battling an illness this week. He has thrown for 2,210 passing yards, 18 TDs, and 6 INTs (200.9 YPG) in 11 games, with 333 rushing yards and 2 rushing TDs.

​​Ravens vs Patriots Injury Report

Lamara Jackson and Rashod Bateman were full practice participants in the Ravens’ most recent session. A few Patriots haven’t practiced: Harold Landry, Marcus Jones, Carlton Davis, and Robert Spillane–all defenders.

NFL Expert Picks: Ravens vs Patriots Best Player Prop Bets

Sunday Night Football should be a blast, with two AFC teams looking to put the pedal to the medal. Check out some of the popular Sunday Night Football props on Underdog:

Ravens vs Patriots player props for Sunday Night Football – Dec. 21, 2025

PICK: Drake Maye Higher Than 243.5 Passing Yards

I’m with our guy Sam Pasco on this one. Check out all of his Sunday Night Football player prop picks, featuring Maye clearing this number against Baltimore.

PICK: Lamar Jackson Lower Than 32.5 Rushing Yards

Simply, Jackson just hasn’t looked right, and he’s been less willing to scramble. Vrabel has had success scheming against Jackson’s legs dating back to his days with the Titans.

Good luck, and enjoy Sunday Night Football!
