Of great concern is the inconsistency of Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson. The Ravens and Jackson settled after a lengthy holdout battle. But Jackson has never been the same since winning the 2019 NFL MVP award. On Sunday, the Ravens host the Detroit Lions. It is true that Detroit is drawing more attention with the NFL odds than at any other time in the modern era. Last year, the Lions should have made the playoffs. This year, they are the best team in the depleted NFC North.
