The Detroit Lions (5-1) visit the Baltimore Ravens (4-2) Sunday. Kickoff from M&T Bank Stadium is at 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Lions vs. Ravens odds, and'make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Detroit Lions play their second road game in a row after defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20-6 as 3-point favorites last Sunday. QB Jared Goff, despite all the criticism, has the best ATS record of any QB in the NFL over the past 5 seasons, according to The Action Network, and he leads this Detroit side which could be playing the best of any team right now.
Baltimore is coming off a 24-16 win as 5.5-point favorites vs. the Tennessee Titans last Sunday in London. QB'Lamar Jackson has seemingly taken a step forward in his passing. With Todd Monken entering as offensive coordinator, the rushing of Jackson has taken a backseat to the pass game, and with rookie WR Zay Flowers entering the fray as a reliable weapon alongside TE Mark Andrews, Jackson finally has a duo he can rely on to get the ball to.
Detroit has been solid all around on offense. Although rookie RB Jahmyr Gibbs is missing some time, RB David Montgomery has filled in and been able to rush for 385 yards and 6 TDs in 5 games. Gibbs will return this week – an important fact as Montgomery, who injured his ribs last Sunday, is out.
