Lamar Jackson has been historically dominant against NFC teams and in primetime games in his career, and oddsmakers are expecting that to continue on Monday night.
The Ravens are 5.5-point favorites for their Week 3 matchup against the Lions. A win would move Baltimore into a tie for first place in the AFC North after the Bengals’ fell to 2-1 in an embarrassing loss to the Vikings on Sunday afternoon.

Betting markets have good reason to be confident in Baltimore this week. Jackson is 20-6 in primetime games in his career and has played particularly well on Monday nights. He owns a 7-2 record on MNF with a league-record 124.3 passer rating in such games, per a team release.
Further more, teams that only play the Ravens once every few years never seem to be ready for everything that Jackson can throw (and run) at them. He is 24-2 against the NFC with a .923 inter-conference winning percentage that leads all quarterbacks in league history (min. 20 starts).
When those two factors overlap, Jackson is almost unstoppable. He is undefeated in six primetime games against NFC teams and will be looking to extend that streak on Monday night.
The Ravens have also been excellent in primetime under John Harbaugh, going 43-19 overall and 22-3 at home.
