Lions vs Ravens MNF showdown draws FanDuel promo, boosts betting activity

A Week 3 Monday Night Football matchup between the Detroit Lions and Baltimore Ravens is drawing attention from sports bettors thanks to a new FanDuel promo. The sportsbook is offering a bet-get bonus: Bet $5 and win $300 in bonus bets if your first wager wins. No promo code is required; bettors must sign up using the FanDuel Sportsbook link and be located in one of the supported states. The offer is available in 23 states plus the District of Columbia for players 21 and older; terms apply and gambling help is available at 1-800-GAMBLER. On the field, Baltimore is listed as a 5.5-point favorite with an over/under of 52.5 for the game.

The matchup is being viewed as a potential litmus test for two top contenders. Detroit opened 2025 with a 27-13 loss at Green Bay in Week 1, then erupted for 52 points in a Week 2 win over Chicago. Baltimore opened with a narrow loss to Buffalo in Week 1 and responded by blasting Cleveland by 24 in Week 2.

Detroit has been strong on the road, going 8-1 SU in its last nine road games and covering in 12 of 18. Baltimore has been profitable at home, posting an 8-1 SU mark in its last nine at M&T Bank Stadium.

New York Post Betting analyst Sean Treppedi notes that the Lions-Ravens tilt could offer market-value opportunities as bettors weigh spread and total, with value often surfacing when trends align with the line. Treppedi handicaps the NFL, NHL, MLB and college football for the New York Post, focusing on picks that reflect market value while tracking trends to mitigate risk.
