Betting the Detroit Lions (1-1 SU, 1-1 ATS, 1-1 o/u)
Hot off the heels of a dominant performance against the Chicago Bears in Week 2, the Lions appeared to be as ferocious as ever as they bit out the kneecaps of their former offensive coordinator, Ben Johnson, en route to a 52-21 victory. In this matchup, the Lions reminded the NFL world that they still possess one of the most explosive offences in all of football, capable of popping off for massive scoring performances at any time.
With Week 2 serving as a palate cleanser after Week 1’s disappointing loss to the Green Bay Packers, Week 3 will be a good indicator as to what direction this squad is heading. Having experienced considerable success in the previous two seasons, the Lions are eager to prove that they remain in the mix for this year’s Super Bowl, and a win over the Ravens would certainly put them back on the map.
Betting the Baltimore Ravens (1-1 SU, 1-1 ATS, 2-0 o/u)
Similar to the Lions, the Ravens had a statement-making performance in Week 2 as they pushed past their tragic Week 1 loss to the Buffalo Bills. In a one-sided beatdown, the Ravens defeated the Cleveland Browns, 41-17. Continuing to prove that they’re among the league’s elite in this lopsided victory, the Ravens are in position to make a statement with their performance against the Lions.
Having scored 40 points in both of their opening season clashes so far this season, the Ravens have had no trouble putting points on the board. With quarterback Lamar Jackson already in midseason form, the Ravens have been firing on all cylinders with the ball in their hands.
With an opportunity to move into a tie for the top spot in the AFC North with a victory, look for the Ravens to bring their best as they take the field in front of their home crowd faithful at M&T Bank Stadium, ready to keep pushing their way toward a Super Bowl appearance with a win over the Lions.

Lions vs. Ravens Player Prop Trends
- Lions quarterback Jared Goff has thrown for 300+ passing yards in four of his last six regular-season games and five of his previous seven total, including the playoffs. Goff is +230 to pass for 300+ yards against the Ravens, and has his standard line set at 260.5.
- Possessing a definite nose for the end zone, Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has hit paydirt in five of his last six regular-season games. With no signs of slowing down near the goal line, at -130, Gibbs is a great bet to put points on the board on Monday Night Football.
- He may be known best for his jaw-dropping scrambling speed outside the pocket, don’t get it twisted, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson can still put the ball on a string. Having passed for 2+ touchdowns in 12 of his last 13 regular-season games played, at -200, these are safe odds to back.
- One of the best ball carriers the NFL has ever seen, running back Derrick Henry is no stranger to steamrolling his way to a big day. Having finished four of his last five games played with more than 100 rushing yards, Henry is a great bet to do so against the Lions. At +145, this is a juicy player prop bet that can help you secure a sensational boost to your bankroll this evening.
Lions vs. Ravens Predictions
- In what is sure to be a thrilling showdown between two of the NFL’s best teams, back the Ravens to get the job done at home. While the Lions certainly have proven that their versatile offence is enough to keep them competitive against any opponent, expect the Ravens to outmatch them in the trenches. Able to control the game on the ground and wear down their opponents over four quarters, expect to see the Ravens’ dynamic run game break the spirit of Detroit’s defence, gaining an early lead, and forcing the Lions to play from behind for the remainder of the contest. I suggest sticking to the Ravens moneyline or teasing the spread to -2.5 as this is still set to be a closely contested affair.
- Pitting two of the league’s most explosive offences against one another, even with a hefty point total line of 53.5 set, look for the over to be the winning bet on the point total this evening. With the Ravens and Lions having both scored at a high volume early on this season, with extra time to recoup and rest from Week 2, look for both sides to have their track shoes on this evening as they go shot-for-shot in a high-scoring slugfest on Monday Night Football. Stops may come at a premium in this one, hammer the over on Monday Night Football.
