This is one strange opening line. The powerful Lions visit the Baltimore Ravens in a stupendous Monday Night Football matchup.
The NFL betting line has the Ravens giving the Lions six points. That’s insulting to a team that has high hopes to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl … finally.
The total is at 52 points. Temptation is to think this one will go over.
Remember, the Lions scored 52 points in Week 2 by themselves. Why is the line so high? Does someone suspect something? Or is it because Detroit was awful at Green Bay in its opener?
