The New York Jets have won three of the last four games. If they want to pick up their fourth in five weeks, it's going to take a near-perfect effort going against the Baltimore Ravens. The Jets don't have a whole lot to play in this game, but a win could put a dent in the Ravens chances for home-field advantage, and playing spoiler can be a fun role.

So how will the Jets perform? Let's breakdown three bold predictions for the Jets game on Thursday night against the Ravens.

3. The defense allows Lamar Jackson to rush for at least 60 yards

The Jets defense has been good against the run, giving up only 78.8 yards per game, but they haven't faced too many mobile quarterbacks. They have only met one quarterback who is considered moble. In that game, Josh Allen rushed for 38 yards and a touchdown.

In their last game, they faced off against Ryan Fitzpatrick — who isn't known for his rushing ability — who was able to pick up 65 yards and seven carries.

Lamar Jackson is elite with his feet, and it has to be very concerning what Fitzpatrick did against them. Look for Jackson to rush for at least 60 yards in this game.

2. Le'Veon Bell isn't the teams leading rusher

Le”Veon Bell missed the team's last game against the Miami Dolphins with the “flu.” He missed Thursday and Friday's practice because of the sickness and was sent home from the team to avoid others getting sick.

On Saturday, he was spotted out at Boonton Lanes doing some bowling.  For someone who is sick with the flu that can't make the team very happy, and a decreased role should be expected this week. Bilal Powell rushed for 74 yards against the Dolphins, and the team will continue to ride the hot hand here. Don't be shocked if Bell doesn't even make it on the field.

1. Jets lose by 20+ points

The Jets have won three of the last four games, but none of them were against a winning team, and in the previous game, they had trouble against the Dolphins winning by only a point. The Ravens are a team that has run up the score a lot this year, and it should be no different in this game. In back to back weeks earlier this season, they beat the Houston Texans 41-7 and the Los Angeles Rams 45-6.

This is going to be another one of those ugly games that the Ravens win in blowout fashion. The Ravens winning 35-6 seems about right.
