Once you’ve gone out of the frying pan and into the fire, can things get worse? That’s the question the Detroit Lions and bettors at Michigan sports betting sites may be asking themselves this week.

Detroit gave up 41 points in a Week 1 loss to San Francisco. Another 35 points were surrendered during a Week 2 Monday Night Football setback at Green Bay.

This week, the Lions get a short week to prepare for a Baltimore Ravens team coming off a win over the AFC champion Kansas City Chiefs. At NFL betting sites, the Ravens are set as 9-point favorites over the Lions. Baltimore is 4-1 straight up and against the spread in the last five games against Detroit.

Ravens vs Lions Key Matchups

Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson vs Detroit’s LBs: It’s the task of the linebackers to read and react to the QB and contain any rollout or run attempt. Jackson is the NFL’s most elusive QB. Detroit’s LBs are the worst in the league. Jackson should be able to run amok.

Lions Offense vs Ravens Pass Defense: Baltimore has allowed an NFL-high 752 yards through the air in two games. Detroit QB Jared Goff is 11th in passing yardage (584).

Detroit’s TJ Hockenson vs Baltimore secondary: Hockenson is emerging as the star he was projected to be when the Lions selected him in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Against Green Bay, he joined David Hill (1981) as the only Lions TEs since the 1970 merger with 50+ receiving yards and 1+ TD in consecutive games.

Ravens vs Lions Weather Forecast

You might think a weather report for a game in a domed stadium like Ford Field would have no bearing on the NFL picks and almost always, you’d be right. But here’s where it matters. Baltimore’s Justin Tucker is the most accurate kicker in NFL history and won’t need to be concerned with the elements. In a 2013 game at Ford Field, he kicked six field goals, including a franchise-record 61-yard game winner.

Ravens vs Lions Moneyline

Everything at betting apps points to a Baltimore blowout victory. The Lions defense is hideous. Baltimore just beat a Kansas City team that’s been to the past two Super Bowls.

Yet, history tells us the Lions often come up with their best when at their lowest ebb. In 2018, also during Week 3, Detroit was 0-2 and facing the 1-1 New England Patriots. Doom and gloom loomed large all week. Yet on game day, Detroit won going away 26-10. Baltimore could be due for a letdown after such an emotional win. Go with the Lions for the upset at +350 with BetMGM.
