Baltimore Ravens vs Detroit Lions NFL Preview: Team news, betting, tickets, live stream, Fantasy Football and more

The Detroit Lions have shown two completely different faces to start the season. They were manhandled in their opener by the Green Bay Packers, falling 27-13, but roared back in Week 2 with an offensive explosion, hanging 52 points on the Chicago Bears in a 52-21 rout.

Monday’s matchup at M&T Bank Stadium against the Baltimore Ravens will reveal whether that first-week stumble was merely a blip on the radar or a warning sign that Detroit still struggles when matched with top-tier competition.

Ravens vs Lions Fantasy Football

The Detroit Lions entered the season with plenty of doubters, many expecting them to slide backward after Ben Johnson left for Chicago and opponents had more film to pick apart their flaws. While the attack has held firm, it's the defense that still looks like the soft spot. Even in their convincing win over the Bears, Chicago managed to create chances to put points on the board.

Lamar Jackson started sluggishly against Cleveland, limited to just 77 yards passing at 4.5 yards per attempt in the first half. But the Browns' resistance eventually cracked, and Jackson erupted after the break, completing 9 of 12 throws for 148 yards (12.3 Y/A) and three touchdowns. That second-half surge only cements his standing as one of the top fantasy options at the position.

After a flat opening performance, Jared Goff and the Lions offense quickly silenced concerns by hanging 52 points on the board in Week 2. With John Morton calling plays, Detroit leaned back into the blueprint they thrived under with Johnson. Goff worked under center on nearly 62% of his dropbacks, a noticeable jump from 41.5% in Week 1.

Derrick Henry endured a rare off day, rushing 11 times for just 23 yards — his lowest single-game total since arriving in Baltimore. It was an unusually poor output but not one to spark panic, though it did serve as a reminder that even a powerhouse back like Henry can bottom out when the game script doesn’t tilt his way.

Jahmyr Gibbs provided the fireworks for Detroit’s backfield, handling 15 touches for 104 total yards and a touchdown. He ripped off a 42-yard run en route to 94 rushing yards on 12 carries and added three short catches. While his workload still lags behind some RB1 peers, Gibbs continues to deliver on efficiency, even while sharing time with David Montgomery. Montgomery himself turned 12 touches into 61 yards and a score, though he settled in more as a fringe RB2/FLEX option despite favorable conditions.

After a muted opener, Amon-Ra St. Brown exploded in Week 2, hauling in 9 of 11 targets for 115 yards and three touchdowns, re-establishing himself as Goff's go-to weapon. For Baltimore, Zay Flowers has been an early-season revelation, commanding nearly half the team’s targets and air yards through two weeks. On the flip side, Rashod Bateman has struggled to get going, posting just four catches for 25 yards across two games while battling through lingering injury issues and a reduced snap count.

Ravens vs Lions Game Predictions

The Baltimore Ravens enter Monday night's showdown with a 56% probability of victory, while the Detroit Lions are given a 43.7% chance, with a slim margin left for a potential tie.

This primetime clash stands out as one of the marquee matchups of Week 3, and it promises fireworks from start to finish. Baltimore's run defense has shown some cracks, creating an opportunity for David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs to help Detroit establish the ground game and open up play-action looks for Jared Goff. On the flip side, the Lions will have their hands full trying to bottle up Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, a combination capable of wearing down any defense.
