The Ravens vs Lions
Game Prediction!
The Pick: Detroit Lions +4.5
In this intriguing matchup, we've got two teams coming off big home wins and sitting at an even 1-1. The Ravens offense has put up some serious points, but a closer look at their yardage last week shows they didn't exactly dominate. Meanwhile, the Lions offense was on fire against the Bears, but a big question mark remains: can Jared Goff consistently throw the deep ball? While the Ravens have historically had the Lions number, I think Detroit is healthy enough on defense to keep this game close. I'm taking the Lions to cover the spread.
