To kick off their 2022 NFL regular season, Lamar Jackson's Baltimore Ravens will take a trip to New York to face Robert Saleh and the Jets. Kickoff in this Week 1 matchup is at 1 p.m. ET Sunday.

Even with Jackson's contract situation lingering in Baltimore, the Ravens are heavily favored on the road in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The Jets will likely start QB Joe Flacco against his former team due to an injury to Zach Wilson. Despite the questions at quarterback, the Jets have the benefit of a strong 2022 draft class.

Here's a look at the betting details and USA TODAY's NFL staff picks for the Ravens vs. Jets game:

Lorenzo Reyes: Ravens 21, Jets 13

Now that Baltimore is finally healthy, it enters this season with Super Bowl aspirations. Quarterback is an uncertainty for New York, so I’m staying away from the Jets being a candidate to cover.

Expect Lamar Jackson to be the next quarterback to get a massive contract extension.

Safid Deen: Ravens 28, Jets 14

Lamar Jackson will continue doing what Lamar Jackson does. And the Ravens will start the season off with a relatively easy win. Robert Saleh and the Jets are on the rise, but Zach Wilson must be healthy for the Jets’ rebuild to truly takeoff.

Lance Pugmire: Ravens 23, Jets 13

Can the thrill of the Jets’ draft night continue through the first Sunday? Joe Flacco at quarterback indicates a no, but it has led to an accidental “Revenge Sunday” matchup with the team he won a Super Bowl with and the quarterback who replaced him.
