Lions at Ravens prediction: Odds, expert picks, QB matchup, injury update, betting trends, and stats

Two of the NFL’s elite meet Monday Night in Charm City when the Detroit Lions (1-1) visit the Baltimore Ravens (1-1).

The Lions roll into Baltimore following a trouncing of the Bears, 52-21. Jared Goff threw five touchdown passes and Detroit racked up 511 total yards in the win over Caleb Williams and their former Offensive Coordinator, Ben Johnson.

The Ravens also coasted to an easy win as they knocked off the Browns, 41-17. Lamar Jackson threw four touchdowns in the win. While the Lions went up and down the field at will against Chicago, Baltimore had to be more efficient as they accumulated just 242 total yards against the stingy Browns’ defense.

Lets take a deeper dive into this week’s matchup between the Lions and the Ravens.
