Week 3 wraps up in Baltimore as the Ravens host the Lions during Monday Night Football. Both teams enter this matchup coming off dominant wins last week, outscoring their opponents by a combined 55 points! We may be watching a preview of Super Bowl LX.
Matchup Overview
Fresh off a dominant 41-17 win over Cleveland, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens look every bit like contenders in the AFC. Jackson has 7 total touchdowns through two weeks, playing like his usual MVP self. His counterpart, Derrick Henry, will need to step it up after last week’s dud of a performance if the Ravens want to win this game.
The Lions are coming off their 52-21 victory over the Bears, led by Jared Goff and Amon-Ra St. Brown connecting for three touchdowns. After their disappointing loss in Week 1 against the Packers, this performance was exactly what they needed to get their early season back on track.
BTA’s Markets/Props To Watch
| Player/Team | Line | BTA Sports Projection |
| Lamar Jackson | 2+ Passing Touchdowns | 74.28% Chance |
| Jared Goff | 25+ Pass Completions | 42.80% Chance |
| Detroit Lions | Over 23.5 Team Total | 65.30% Chance |
1. Lamar Jackson 2+ Passing Touchdowns
Lamar Jackson has recorded multiple passing touchdowns in 10 consecutive games. After Derrick Henry’s lousy performance last week, the Ravens might rely on their passing game more than usual. Our model gives Lamar Jackson a 74.28% chance to throw 2+ passing touchdowns on Monday.
2. Jared Goff 25+ Pass Completions
The biggest key to this market will be based on how the Ravens perform on offense. If this game is anything like the first two weeks of the season, we should see fireworks on both offenses, leading to more opportunities for Goff to throw the ball against a defense that has given up 61 completions through two weeks. Our model gives Jared Goff a 42.80% chance of recording 25+ pass completions on Monday.
3. Detroit Lions Over 23.5 Team Total
After coming off their 52-point victory over the Bears, the Lions have a modest team total line (23.5) in this matchup. Including the playoffs, the Lions have scored 24 or more points in 7/L8 games. Our model gives the Detroit Lions a 65.30% chance of hitting their team total on Monday.
