Detroit Lions (1–1) @ Baltimore Ravens (1–1) Preview

The Detroit Lions travel to Maryland to play the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football to close out Week 3.

Detroit blasted Chicago 52–21 last week behind Jared Goff’s five TD passes and 511 yards of offense, while Baltimore answered with a 41–17 rout of Cleveland paced by four Lamar Jackson TD throws. Both enter 1–1 with momentum and Top 10 offensive metrics through two weeks.

Weather looks a non-factor: mild temps, light winds, and little to no rain expected in Baltimore tonight. That should keep both passing games fully in play and make explosives more likely.

Injuries to monitor before kick: Detroit lists Taylor Decker, Kerby Joseph, Jack Campbell and others as questionable; Baltimore has Kyle Van Noy and Patrick Ricard ruled out. Market-wide pricing has leaned Ravens by ~4.5–5.5 with a mid-50s total, reflecting faith in Jackson’s primetime track record and both teams’ Week 2 scoring spikes.
