Week 9 of the 2025 NFL season will begin with a showdown between the Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins on Thursday Night Football. Both teams are showing signs of a potential resurgence. Baltimore (2-5) blasted Chicago 30-16 in Week 8, while Miami (2-6) went into Atlanta and humiliated the home team 34-10 this past Sunday.
Here is my Same Game Parlay for the festivities, which get underway at 8:15 pm ET on Amazon Prime. Also be sure to check out our full Ravens vs Dolphins predictions.
Ravens -9.5 alternate spread (+102)
Derrick Henry to score a touchdown (-230)
De’Von Achane to record 60+ rushing yards (-102)
Ravens vs Dolphins Same Game Parlay odds: +537
Part of the value in a Same Game Parlay, of course, is that all of its components can be correlated if you so choose. That is some of the plan here, as Baltimore running back Derrick Henry finding the endzone would obviously work well with a big win by the Ravens. At the same time, plays that aren’t correlated drive up the overall payout of the parlay. That is the case with also backing Miami running back De’Von Achane to rack up his fair share of yards. But even if Achane has a decent game, there is no reason why the visitors can’t roll. Let’s break down each of the 3 legs.
Baltimore Ravens -9.5 alternate spread over Miami Dolphins (-102)
The Dolphins will have to do a lot more than beat the Falcons to prove that they aren’t terrible. Miami did win by a huge margin, but that probably had more to do with just how poorly Atlanta – and backup quarterback Kirk Cousins – performed. The Ravens surely won’t be so generous toward the Fins. After all, head coach John Harbaugh’s club is finally armed with a mostly clean bill of health. When healthy, Baltimore is without question one of the most talented teams in football.
With all hands on deck (most notably QB Lamar Jackson), it recovered from a 4-game losing streak to thrash Chicago this past Sunday. Moreover, coaching is a bigger factor when teams are playing on a short week. I’ll roll with Harbaugh over Miami’s Mike McDaniel all day long. Give me the Ravens to win by double-digits.
Derrick Henry to score a touchdown (-230)
You can pretty much count Henry finding the endzone as a given. Such short odds are not overly enticing for an individual bet, but they do boost this SGP by decent amount. Facing Miami is no exception to the rule that Henry should score. The Dolphins are #28 league wide in rushing defense, #29 in yards per rushing attempt allowed and have given up 10 touchdowns on the ground. Only the Titans have surrendered more. Henry has delivered 6 touchdowns so far this season and he scored twice last weekend against Chicago. Tales of his demise are greatly exaggerated.
De’Von Achane to record 60+ rushing yards (-102)
The Dolphins should be committed to running the football on Thursday night. Their best chance of limiting Jack and Henry is to relegate them to the sideline for as long as possible by running the clock. Moreover, the Ravens’ run defense isn’t any good. They are allowing 128.9 rushing yards per game on 4.5 yards per attempt. Achane has exceeded the 60-yard mark in 5 of the last 6 games, a stretch that features performances of 82, 99 and 128 yards.
