The Baltimore Ravens host the New York Jets on Sunday, November 23, 2023, at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland — a pivotal AFC clash with playoff implications on the line. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. Eastern Time, and the game will be televised nationally on CBS, with streaming available via Paramount+. For fans seeking an alternative, the YouTube channel Ravens Rundown by Chat Sports, hosted by Joey Petersen, offers a free live stream billed as "the only place Baltimore Ravens fans should watch" — a bold claim in an era flooded with unofficial streams.
Why This Game Matters
The Ravens are riding a four-game winning streak, hungry for their fifth consecutive win to finally move above .500 in the 2023 season. That’s never happened under head coach John Harbaugh this year — and it’s a milestone that could solidify their position as a legitimate AFC playoff contender. Their defense, ranked among the league’s best in recent weeks, has been the engine behind their surge. But the real story is on offense: Lamar Jackson is back to his MVP form, and Derrick Henry is running with the kind of power that breaks games open. Together, they’re a nightmare for any defense — especially one as inconsistent as the Jets’.
Meanwhile, the Jets are reeling. After a brief two-game winning streak, they collapsed 27-14 against the New England Patriots, managing just 105 passing yards. That performance sealed the fate of Justin Fields, who averaged under 140 passing yards per game this season — the second-worst mark in the NFL, only ahead of Cleveland’s Dillon Gabriel. Enter Tyrod Taylor, the 34-year-old journeyman veteran. He’s not a long-term solution, but he’s a steadier hand — and maybe, just maybe, enough to keep the Jets competitive against a dominant Ravens defense.
How to Watch: TV, Streaming, and Radio
If you’re tuning in the traditional way, CBS is your only national broadcast option. But here’s the twist: you don’t need a cable subscription. Paramount+ carries the game live, and it’s one of the few legal, affordable ways to stream NFL games without a full cable package. For those who prefer radio, SiriusXM has you covered: channel 382 for the Ravens’ broadcast and 227 for the Jets. Both are available on satellite radios and via the SiriusXM app on smartphones and smart speakers.
And then there’s the YouTube stream. Ravens Rundown isn’t affiliated with the team — but it’s become a cult favorite among fans tired of paywalls and overproduced broadcasts. Host Joey Petersen brings energy, insider knowledge, and zero fluff. It’s raw, real, and surprisingly accurate. The channel even promotes Prize Picks with a $50 bonus code — a reminder that this isn’t just about watching football; it’s about betting on it too.
Betting Odds and Analyst Predictions
The market says this game is a blowout waiting to happen. FanDuel Sportsbook lists the Ravens as 13.5-point favorites, with an over/under of 44.5 points. DraftKings is offering new users $200 in bonus bets with a $5 wager on the game — a clear signal they expect heavy action on Baltimore. Analysts at CBS Sports aren’t holding back: "Baltimore has been on a roll defensively, and this should present a good opportunity for Jackson, Henry and the offense to get going, too, before a tough stretch to finish the season. The Ravens will roll at home."
They’re not just predicting a win — they’re predicting a cover. And the over. The math is simple: the Ravens average 28.4 points per game at home this season. The Jets allow 26.1 on the road. Even with Taylor under center, that’s a recipe for a 30-17 or 34-20 final. The Jets haven’t scored more than 20 points in any of their last four games. That’s not a trend — it’s a pattern.
The Bigger Picture
This isn’t just about Week 12. It’s about momentum. The Ravens are on the cusp of their best season since 2019. A win here puts them at 7-4, within striking distance of the AFC North lead and a first-round bye. Meanwhile, the Jets — who began the season with playoff hopes — are now in full rebuild mode. Taylor’s start might be a last-ditch effort to salvage dignity, or it could be the first step in a full roster overhaul. Either way, the future is uncertain.
And then there’s the oddity: NFL.com’s Game Center still lists a final score of Jets 10, Ravens 23 — for a game in 2025. It’s a glitch, sure. But it’s also a reminder of how fast this league moves. One week, you’re the team everyone’s talking about. The next, you’re a footnote in a database error.
What’s Next?
If the Ravens win, they’ll face the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cincinnati Bengals, and Kansas City Chiefs in their final three games — a gauntlet that could make or break their season. The Jets? They head to Miami, then host the Buffalo Bills, then close in New England. No easy outs. Taylor’s performance this week could determine whether he gets another start — or if rookie Zach Wilson gets another shot.
For Ravens fans, this is the moment they’ve waited for: a chance to prove they’re not just a team with a great defense, but a legitimate contender. For Jets fans? It’s a chance to see if there’s still something left to fight for.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I legally stream Ravens vs. Jets without cable?
You can stream the game legally through Paramount+, which carries all CBS-broadcast NFL games. A subscription costs $5.99/month with ads or $11.99/month ad-free. The CBS Sports app also offers free live streams for users authenticated through a participating TV provider — but if you don’t have cable, Paramount+ is your best bet. Avoid unofficial streams like NFL Streameast; they’re unreliable and often violate copyright laws.
Why did the Jets bench Justin Fields?
Justin Fields averaged just 138.2 passing yards per game in 2023 — the second-worst mark in the NFL, behind only Cleveland’s Dillon Gabriel. His inconsistency, low completion rate (57.4%), and inability to move the ball in crucial moments led head coach Aaron Glenn to make the change. Tyrod Taylor, while not a long-term answer, brings experience, better decision-making, and a proven ability to manage games under pressure.
What’s the significance of the 13.5-point spread?
A 13.5-point spread is one of the largest in Week 12 this season, reflecting the Ravens’ dominance and the Jets’ offensive struggles. Historically, teams favored by 13+ points win outright about 80% of the time — but cover the spread only 65% of the time. The Ravens have covered in 6 of their last 8 games, suggesting they’re likely to do so again. But the Jets’ defense has improved recently — so don’t count out a close loss.
Is the Ravens’ defense really that good?
Yes. Since Week 8, the Ravens have allowed just 14.3 points per game and forced 10 turnovers in four contests. Their front seven, led by Calais Campbell and Odafe Oweh, has been relentless. They’ve held three straight opponents under 3.5 yards per carry. Against a Jets offense that’s averaged 2.9 yards per play in the last three games, this matchup is a mismatch waiting to happen.
What does this game mean for Lamar Jackson’s MVP chances?
A dominant performance against the Jets — especially with Derrick Henry rushing for 120+ yards and Jackson throwing for 250+ with two touchdowns — would solidify Jackson as the frontrunner. He’s currently second in MVP odds behind Josh Allen, but a win here, followed by a strong finish against Kansas City and Pittsburgh, could push him past. His QBR this season is 82.1 — the highest of his career.
Why is the over/under set at 44.5?
The total reflects the Ravens’ explosive offense and the Jets’ porous defense. Baltimore averages 30.7 points per game; New York allows 26.4. Even if the Jets struggle to score, the Ravens rarely let up. In their last three home games, the total has gone over in all of them — including a 34-17 win over the Bengals. With weather expected to be clear and dry in Baltimore, expect a high-scoring affair — even if the Jets’ offense looks sluggish.
