The current betting odds have the Ravens listed as a 3.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Ravens have looked really good in their games this season with their 4-2 record overall. They started the season 0-2, but now they have won 4 games in a row and have all the momentum on their side. Meanwhile, the Buccaneers have also looked good in their games this season with their 4-2 record overall. They are coming off a 51-27 win in their last one, but they aren't going to be able to put up those points in this game. The Ravens haven't looked great on defense lately, but they do have a lot of good players on this defense and it is only a matter of time until they get things together and match the level that this offense has been playing at. The Bucs have also looked great on offense in their games, but their defense has been a really big problems as it is not as good as it has been in previous years. They have been giving up a ton of points all season and their defense was a big reason why they blew their lead against the Falcons. The Ravens have been rolling lately and as good as the Bucs have been on offense, Lamar Jackson is playing like the best QB in the NFL right now and he will bring his best effort for this Monday night game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Ravens to cover the spread in this game.
