Sportsbook Online: Lions vs. Ravens Betting Odds . The Lions will be looking to devour some Ravens as Detroit visits Baltimore on Friday in the second preseason contest for both teams. The game is scheduled to begin in M&T Bank Stadium at 8:00ET and will be televised nationally on the FOX television network.
Both of these teams have Superbowl aspirations, but it is a more realistic hope in Baltimore where the Ravens seem to come up just short of a shot at the NFL Championship on a regular basis. Detroit will have a tough time to just emerge from the NFL North with the Green Bay Packers reigning supreme and the Chicago Bears looking like a force to be reckoned with if they can stay healthy.

The Lions lost to the Cleveland Browns in their preseason opener 19-17, but led most of the way. Detroit was up 14-3 at the half before both teams gave way to the reserves, at which point the Browns scored 16 to the Lions 3 the rest of the way.
Backup Shaun Hill outshined starter Matthew Stafford by leading the team to 2 TD’s after Stafford could only muster three scoreless drives, while throwing an interception intended for receiver Brandon Pettigrew. Look for rookie cornerback Bill Bentley in this one as the heir apparent to Eric Wright who the Lions lost to Tampa Bay in free agency.
Baltimore fared much better in their exhibition opener with a 31-17 victory over the Falcons last Thursday. Long time Peyton Manning backup in Indianapolis, Curtis Painter threw for 3 touchdowns in relief of Joe Flacco who had a nice start of his own going 9 of 12 for 88 yards, with a 9 yard tochdown pass to Ed Dickson. On defense for the Ravens, Omar Brown recovered 2 fumbles and picked off a pass in his pro debut. Not bad for an undrafted rookie from Marshall.

This game could be a marquee matchup in the regular season, but it should still be fun to watch. The Ravens need improvement from their first unit to prevail.
