Lions vs Ravens MNF predictions

Lions vs Ravens MNF best bets

Lions Lions +4.5

-110 at bet365

NFL expert Josh Inglis likes the points with the Detroit Lions over the Baltimore Ravens tonight.

"This opened Baltimore -5.5 and has moved to -4.5. Detroit rebounded nicely in Week 2 and gained some confidence in the market. THE BLITZ has this game at Baltimore -3.31. The backdoor is wide open for the Lions in this game."

Over 53.5

-110 at bet365

Inglis lays out the case for the Over despite a sky-high total.

"This total opened at 51 and has hit as high as 53. It's the highest total of the season. It's a giant total but the Ravens have scored 40+ in each game this year and the Lions bounced back in Week 1 vs the best defense in football to hang a 52-pack vs. the Bears. Neither defense has impressed either this season and both teams could score 25+ on Monday night."

Lions vs Ravens MNF TD picks

Ravens Zay Flowers

+110 at bet365

Ed Scimia is excited about the odds on Zay Flowers in this market, as he's been a favorite target of Lamar Jackson this year.

"Jackson has thrown 48 passes this year. Flowers has been the target for 20 of those, totaling 218 yards and a touchdown on 14 catches. He has more than half of the Ravens’ total receiving yards, and more than three times as many receptions as any other player in the offense. That level of usage will inevitably result in scores."

Lions Jahmyr Gibbs Over 24.5 receiving yards

-110 at bet365

Ryan Gilbert is counting on Jahmyr Gibbs' abilities as a pass-catcher to be heavily utilized by the Lions on Monday night.

"Gibbs was used primarily in the passing game as the Lions played from behind in Week 1, hauling in all 10 targets for 31 yards in Green Bay. The third-year back had at least 25 receiving yards in 10 of 17 games last season, plus in his only postseason game."
