Summary
Jordan Love is officially OUT for Saturday's showdown against Baltimore, thrusting Malik Willis into the spotlight with the NFC North division title still within reach. With Lamar Jackson also doubtful for the Ravens, this matchup just became a battle of backup quarterbacks—and the Packers hold every advantage at home.
This episode delivers a comprehensive breakdown of the Baltimore Ravens, a team having their worst season since 2021. We examine Tyler Huntley's extensive film history (he's 5-12 as Baltimore's fill-in starter), Derek Henry's dramatic statistical decline from his monster 2024 campaign, and why their aging defense—featuring pass rushers who can't rush and corners having career-worst seasons—presents an exploitable matchup for Green Bay.
Key discussion points include the strategy debate around resting starters versus competing for the division, the Ravens' rapidly closing championship window with declining stars at multiple positions, and why Kyle Hamilton remains one of the few legitimate threats on their roster. Plus, breaking injury news on Savion Smith and Quay Walker dealing with illness.
The Packers are 3.5-point home favorites. This is a winnable game that could set up everything for the final push.

| 0:00.0 | Ladies and gentlemen, welcome once again to the Packernet podcast. I am your host and |
| 0:13.4 | resident panelists. As always, Ryan Shlip, check us out online, packernet.com. Find me on |
| 0:18.7 | Twitter, pack underscore, datab. Well, it's been a pretty jam-packed week |
| 0:24.7 | with the holidays and whatnot, but it's officially game day. So we got to jump right back into it. |
| 0:32.4 | We haven't really, I was supposed to do it yesterday, ran out of time. We haven't really talked |
| 0:36.2 | about Baltimore very much. |
| 0:39.0 | So that's primarily going to be what we're looking at. Baltimore, how they play, some tendencies, |
| 0:45.6 | things of that nature, and obviously who they even are. We got some questions at quarterback, |
| 0:52.3 | obviously, Lamar being doubtful and whatnot, but that is |
| 0:55.4 | going to primarily be the plan. |
| 0:57.9 | We'll see where that leaves us. |
| 0:59.5 | I don't know how much time that's going to leave us, but that's the plan. |
| 1:05.1 | First of all, just some very broad strokes overview of the Baltimore Ravens, because they |
| 1:09.3 | are a very uncommon opponent, |
| 1:13.5 | even though they are a pretty high profile team. |
| 1:19.5 | Having a very down year, they haven't seen a year like this since 2021. |
| 1:24.0 | Season isn't over yet, but assuming they don't get to 10 wins, that would be the, only the second time since 2018. It's also only going to be the second time since 2018. |
| 1:28.8 | It's also only going to be the second time they missed the playoffs since 2018. |
| 1:33.9 | For reference, Lamar Jackson joined the team as the starting quarterback in 2019. |
| 1:38.9 | So even going back to the final year of Joe Flacco, |
| 1:42.9 | they have been to the playoffs six of the last seven years, |
| 1:46.8 | not including this year, which would make it six of eight. The Ravens offense has been a top |
