Lamar Jackson is the clear answer for the Baltimore Ravens, according to AccuScore's season-predictions engine, which simulated Baltimore's remaining schedule 50,000 times under two identical scenarios — one with Jackson at quarterback, one with Tyler Huntley. Everything else (schedule, results so far, the other 31 teams) was held constant.
Both scenarios start from the same 4-2-0 record. The only variable is who lines up under center.
| With Lamar Jackson | With Tyler Huntley | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 10.75 projected wins | 8.98 projected wins | -1.77 wins |
| 69.7% playoff odds | 41.1% playoff odds | -28.6 pts |
| 40.1% division odds | 18.5% division odds | -21.6 pts |
| 8.9% conference odds | 5.6% conference odds | -3.3 pts |
| 4.12% Super Bowl odds | 2.83% Super Bowl odds | -1.29 pts |
The per-game swing is significant: AccuScore's average expected margin in remaining games is +4.04 points with Jackson versus -1.44 points with Huntley, a gap of 5.48 points per game.
That shows up immediately. In the very next game, 2026-10-25 against the Cincinnati Bengals, AccuScore's model favors Baltimore by 2.5 points with Jackson starting — but has the Ravens as 3-point underdogs with Huntley starting.
The division race tightens too. With Jackson, Baltimore holds 40.1% division odds, ahead of the Bengals (26.4%), Steelers (19%) and Browns (14.5%). With Huntley, the Ravens fall behind Cincinnati, who jump to 35.8% to win the division, while Pittsburgh (26.3%) and Cleveland (19.5%) also pass Baltimore's 18.5%.
What could change this answer: AccuScore's model rates a quarterback based on what he's actually done so far this season. If Huntley's on-field performance in Baltimore's remaining games outpaces what the simulation currently expects from him, the gap between these two scenarios would narrow in future runs. For now, per AccuScore's Market Index, the numbers favor Jackson by a wide margin across every bracket — wins, playoffs, division, conference and title odds.
