The oddsmaker still isn't giving Detroit much respect even with a 5-1 straight up and ATS record as the Lions are an underdog this week against Baltimore, which is 2-8-1 ATS its past 11 home games. The Lions are firing on all cylinders with Jared Goff among the leaders in most QB categories and he torched Tampa Bay on 30 of 44 passing for 353 yards and no interceptions. Detroit is No. 3 in the league in total offense yards and No. 4 with 28.0 points per game. The Ravens come off a 24-16 win over Tennessee, which is No. 26 in total yards, and Baltimore has played mostly weak offensive teams so far this season, including a win against Cincinnati when Joe Burrow was still recovering from his calf injury. There is a revenge motive as the Lions remember losing 19-17 to the Ravens two years ago on a 66-yard field goal by Justin Tucker as time expired although Baltimore should have been called for delay of game on the play prior to the kick. The Lions are 12-2 ATS versus teams with winning records, 24-8 ATS their past 32 games overall and 7-0 ATS after allowing fewer than 15 points their previous game. Play the Lions.
