Raiders vs Ravens Odds & Picks Week 2: Back Baltimore

We've got Raiders vs Ravens odds to break down for Week 2, with Baltimore slated as a massive home favorite.

The Ravens may have lost their Week 1 bout with the Chiefs, but they're sitting as nearly 10-point favorites over the Raiders in this one. Can Lamar Jackson and the boys rebound after a heart-breaking loss?

Raiders vs Ravens Picks Week 2

Ravens Alt-Line -6.5 (-162)

I'm taking the Ravens to win this one by a touchdown, with an alt-line bet. Despite the loss in Week 1, Baltimore flashed the same recipe that helped them to a 13-3 record and 12-7 ATS run last year. The defense is great, Lamar Jackson is unstoppable, and  pass-catchers like Isaiah Likely and Zay Flowers are good enough to spread out opposing defenses.

On the Raiders side, I have no confidence in this team's ability to score after Week 1. Gardner Minshew is a game-manager at most, the run game looks inefficient, and aside from Davante Adams there's basically no playmakers. Vegas also enters this contest with just one win in their last eight road contests, so that doesn't bode well for LV.

Now, the reason I'm taking this alt-line is because of Vegas' defense. I think Baltimore will have no problem containing Minshew and the LV offense, but running up the score will be tough against a Raiders D that allowed the seventh-fewest points in football last year. The Raiders have lost by over 9.5 points in just two of their last 10 games. So, I'm sticking with this 6.5-point alt line — six of Vegas' last eight losses have come by seven or more points.

If you want to take the Ravens -9.5, I totally get it. Baltimore has won their last four games by double-digit points. I just love Vegas' defense, and think that could hold this to a lower-scoring game that'll make it hard for Baltimore to cover 10 points.

Raiders vs Ravens Prop Pick

Derrick Henry Anytime Touchdown

I'm not sure if Henry is going to be the most efficient RB in football, but he's going to be Baltimore's bell cow. Of Baltimore's 16 rushing attempts by players not named Lamar Jackson, Henry got 13 of them. He had the team's only rushing attempt inside the five-yard line, too.

Henry is also facing a Raiders defense that got torched by the run last week, with JK Dobbins and Gus Edwards combining for 161 yards and a touchdown. Las Vegas also allowed the seventh-most rushing touchdowns in football last year. Henry also has three career touchdowns in four games against the Raiders.
