Baltimore Ravens at Las Vegas Raiders
The Baltimore Ravens and Las Vegas Raiders meet at Allegiant Stadium for Monday Night Football. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET and the game is televised on ESPN. Below, we look at the Ravens vs. Raiders odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.
The Ravens have had a lot of difficulty with injuries. RB J.K. Dobbins suffered a season-ending injury two weeks ago in the preseason, and then RB Gus Edwards suffered a torn ACL this week. CB Marcus Peters also tore his ACL this week, so the Ravens are scrambling for replacements.
The Raiders finally get to open Allegiant Stadium to fans after closing the building in their first season in Las Vegas due to COVID-19. Owner Mark Davis didn’t want to open the team’s new palace to partial capacity last season. Look for a raucous crowd in front of fans who have been waiting a while to welcome their new team.

Money line
The RAIDERS (+170) will have a raucous crowd at Allegiant Stadium in Sin City for this much-anticipated regular-season opener with fans in the stands. The home team also catches a huge break with the Ravens reeling due to injuries at several key positions.
Yes, Baltimore still has dynamic QB Lamar Jackson healthy and ready to go and he has a cadre of solid receivers but this is setting up nicely for Vegas to get off on the right foot.
Against the spread
If you’re not feeling the RAIDERS +4.5 (-115) straight up, you at least have to like them catching the points.
The Ravens are 5-0 ATS in their previous five regular-season openers, but they have never been banged up like this entering a new campaign. The Raiders are 4-1 ATS in their previous five season openers. They should continue that favorable trend.
Over/Under
The best play on the board in this Monday night battle is the UNDER 50.5 (-108). Baltimore’s defense remains stout, even without Peters. The Ravens still have 12 defensive backs on the roster, and they’ll fill the void, although no one can replace his ball-hawking skills.
The Under will come through because the Baltimore offense might be a bit predictable and one-dimensional without much of a rushing attack outside of Jackson. If the Ravens are forced to have an unbalanced offense with more passing than running, they’re going to be in trouble.
The Under is 5-2 in the past seven Week 1 games for the Ravens, while the Under is 4-1 in the last five Monday night appearances for the Raiders.
