Forecast for Thursday Night Football on FOX: Crab cakes worthy of touchdown dance

Be adventurous with this key lime crab cakes recipe, and you'll be surprised by how well the combination works

MIAMI – The Baltimore Ravens (6-2) have risen four spots to No. 6 in the latest AP Pro32 poll. They now head to Miami to take on the Dolphins (2-7), opening Week 10 on FOX's Thursday Night Football.

Forecasters are expecting temperatures outside Hard Rock Stadium to be in the mid-70s with scattered thunderstorms by kickoff set for 8:20 p.m. Eastern. Temperatures should remain consistent throughout the game. 

For Ravens fans firing up the grill at home, Baltimore, Maryland, temperatures will be in the upper 50s with a slim chance of showers before the game ends. A thunderstorm is very likely between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m., then showers after 4 a.m. New rainfall amounts between a quarter- and half-inch are possible.

FOX Sports reports the Ravens are 5-1 (83.3%) against the Dolphins over their last six games.

"I like the (Baltimore Ravens) because I think they're more explosive offensively," FOX Sports' Colin Cowherd said. "By the way, can we put the 'Lamar Jackson can't play from behind' (narrative) to bed officially? That's their fourth win this season trailing entering the fourth, and they've won."
