The Las Vegas Raiders (0-1) and Baltimore Ravens (0-1) meet Sunday. Kickoff from M&T Bank Stadium is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Raiders vs. Ravens odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Raiders are coming off a 22-10 loss as 3-point underdogs at the LA Chargers Sunday with the Under (40.5) hitting. The against-the-spread (ATS) loss snapped a 4-game cover streak dating back to last season.
The Ravens opened the season with a 27-20 setback as 2.5-point underdogs at the Kansas City Chiefs last Thursday as the Over (46) cashed. QB Lamar Jackson found WR Isaiah Likely for a TD as time expired — which would’ve cut the lead to 1 — but it was overturned by review, as Likely’s toe was on the endline.
These teams have not met since 2021.

Raiders at Ravens picks and predictions
Prediction
Ravens 21, Raiders 17
Moneyline
It’s likely that the Ravens (-450) bounce back at home after Week 1’s heartbreaking loss. However, this line has way too much vig to recommend.
PASS. Bet the spread and/or total instead.
Against the spread
There are so many effective ways to play this game. If you’re looking to play a full-game side, Las Vegas +8.5 has the value, as the market is overrating Baltimore in a bounce-back spot. The Ravens have a reputation of being able to name their score against weaker competition (10-6 ATS as favorites in 2023), but their offensive line is among the weakest in the NFL this season.
PFF.com ranks Baltimore’s offensive line 25th in the league after the Ravens lost 3 starters from last season. While Baltimore was an NFL-best 4-0 ATS after a loss last year, Jackson will have a harder time running up scores this season with such little protection.
If you have a book that allows 2-team, 6-point teasers at -120 or cheaper, Baltimore at -2.5 is suitable for a Wong teaser (going through the key numbers of 3 and 7).
If you’re dead set on laying points with the Ravens outside of a teaser, Baltimore -5.5 (-105) in the 1st half isn’t a bad bet. Per Scott Seidenberg of RJ Bell’s Dream Preview, Jackson is the most profitable 1st-half QB in the last 20 years (51-31-2 ATS).
As far as full-game sides go, though, BET RAIDERS +8.5 (-105).
Over/Under
Neither team scored over 20 points in Week 1. Las Vegas held the Chargers to just 22 points, and that number could’ve been lower if Raiders coach Antonio Pierce didn’t make the mistake of punting on 4th-and-1 at the Chargers 43 with 7:15 remaining.
BET UNDER 41.5 (-110).
