2025 NFL Monday Night Football Week 3 Betting Lines
After an exciting evening of football that featured the first of four doubleheaders last week, the Monday Night Football schedule returns to a single game in Week 3 with a battle between Super Bowl contenders. The Detroit Lions and Baltimore Ravens have high expectations following successful regular seasons last year. Both teams exited the postseason early, though, and they’re looking to make up for that. The game is scheduled to kickoff at 8:15 p.m. ET from MT Bank Stadium in Baltimore, MD. ABC/ESPN will provide television coverage.
Both clubs rebounded from shaky Week 1 losses with dominant wins over division foes on Sunday. Detroit’s league-leading offense from a season ago looked out of sync in the opener. Any concerns about the group were put to rest with an Arena Football League performance against the Bears. Jared Goff three five touchdown passes and the Lions amassed 511 total yards in the 52-21 massacre. Lamar Jackson had four scoring passes in Baltimore’s 41-17 victory over the Browns. With the potential for plenty of offense the opening total of 52.5 is the biggest on the Week 3 board.

Lions at Ravens Betting Preview
Spurred by their poor performance in Week 1 and facing their former offensive coordinator the Lions erupted for their first win of the season. The offense was crisp scoring seven touchdowns with Jared Goff going 23 of 28 for 334 yards and five TD passes. Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery combined for 151 yards on the ground with each scoring a TD. The Lions didn’t allow a sack or turn the ball over while racking up 511 yards.
Scoring wasn’t an issue last year. Twice the Lions scored 52 points in a game leading to a NFL best 33.2 scoring average. That group was led by Ben Johnson, who left in the offseason to take the head gig in Chicago. And while the coordinator changed many of the players on that side of the ball remain the same. “This train keeps rolling and it’s always going to start with the players,” head coach Dan Campbell said.
In order to became a real Super Bowl threat the Lions have to be better on defense. Injuries plagued the group last season and with some of those players back they should be better. They held the Bears to 339 total yards, forced two turnovers and recorded four sacks. Aidan Hutchinson was more of a force in his second game since returning from injury recording a sack and a hit on Caleb Williams. Hutchinson was held off the stat sheet in Week 1.
It’s probably unfair to say Sunday’s game against Cleveland was a must win for the Ravens. But after losing their opener blowing a 15-point lead in the fourth quarter, the Ravens needed to bounce back. And with their next four games against playoff teams from last season the schedule is brutal. The Ravens took care of business behind another offensive masterpiece taking down the Browns, 41-17.
Through the first two weeks of the season there have been four teams that have reached the 40-point mark in regulation. The Ravens have done it twice with Detroit and Buffalo the others. The Bills did it in their Week 1 win over the Ravens. Lamar Jackson threw four TD pass against Cleveland and has six in two games without an interception.
There have been seven all-time meetings between the clubs with Baltimore holding a 6-1 advantage, including wins in the last five encounters. The last meeting was in 2023 in Baltimore with Jackson throwing for 357 yards and three scores in a 38-6 romp. Baltimore has won all four home meetings with the last three by an average of 33.7 points.
