Detroit Lions vs Baltimore Ravens
Head to head
Preview
How it plays out
Detroit Lions vs Baltimore Ravens is an inter-conference matchup: the NFC Lions hosting the AFC Ravens. This projects as a coin flip, 55-45 with the spread at DET -0.5. Only 1 spot separate them in the power rankings, about as even as it gets.
Tactically, Detroit Lions will want to lean on aggressive identity to attack Baltimore Ravens, whose secondary lapses is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Baltimore Ravens's record-setting rushing could punish Detroit Lions if pass rush health goes unaddressed. Whoever wins that exchange likely wins the game.
Keep an eye on Jared Goff (QB) and Lamar Jackson (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. Home field tilts the margin toward Lions, and in a game this close that edge matters.
