Lamar Jackson best prop bet for Ravens at Steelers on Sunday 1/4/26

The Ravens are visiting the Steelers on Sunday night. The winner of this matchup will win the AFC North and make the playoffs, while the loser will be eliminated. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Baltimore is favored by 3.5 points and this game carries a total of 41.5 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Lamar Jackson prop to consider from this contest.


Best Lamar Jackson Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Lamar Jackson U 29.5 Rushing Yards (-116)

Since returning from a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury in Week 9, Jackson hasn’t been active with his legs, averaging 5.3 carries for 21.8 rushing yards per game in his last eight. Jackson fell short of 29.5 rushing yards in six of these eight games and he is only rushing the ball on 9% of his snaps during this stretch.

Jackson clearly has been more tentative as a rusher and while he rushed for 43 yards when he faced the Steelers in Week 14, Jackson now is dealing with a back injury that forced him to miss last week’s crucial matchup vs. the Packers.

The banged-up Jackson shouldn’t be aggressive as a rusher and he is a strong bet to fall short of 29.5 rushing yards.
