Monday pro football betting tips
The Baltimore Ravens are favored by about 4.5 to 5.5 points in their home matchup vs. Detroit, depending on the sportsbook. The over/under signals expectations of a high-scoring game. Historically, Baltimore has had strong success vs. NFC opponents - Lamar Jackson in particular holds a superb record against NFC teams. Meanwhile, Detroit is showing good ATS (against the spread) numbers in road games since 2023, which suggests they might be competitive even as underdogs.
Some bettors may believe Detroit could cover the spread based on their recent offensive outburst against Chicago and the idea that Baltimore's defense is vulnerable in certain areas due to injuries to players like LB Kyle Van Noy and DT Nnamdi Madubuike.
55-60% of betting tickets are on the Ravens to cover at sportsbooks with more than 70% of total tickets on the over. More than 70% of moneyline wagers are also on the Ravens.
