The Baltimore Ravens look to keep their slim playoff hopes alive when they battle the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night. The Ravens (7-8), who trail first-place Pittsburgh by two games in the AFC North, need to win out and have Pittsburgh lose to the Browns in Week 17 to make the playoffs. The Packers (9-5-1), who are 1.5 games behind Chicago for the NFC North lead, clinched a playoff spot on Thursday when the Vikings upset the Lions. Both teams have major question marks at quarterback. Green Bay QB Jordan Love (concussion/shoulder) is listed as questionable, as is backup Malik Willis (shoulder/illness). Baltimore lists quarterback Lamar Jackson (back) as doubtful.

Kickoff from Lambeau Field in Green Bay is set for 8 p.m. ET. The Packers lead the all-time series 5-2. The Packers are 4.5-point favorites in the latest Ravens vs. Packers odds, while the over/under for total points scored is 40.5 via DraftKings Sportsbook.
