First off, yes i absolutely had to use the logo stomp image even though Marcus Peters isn’t a Raven anymore.
The Ravens are back at M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday after escaping Brazil with a 34-31 win over the Cowboys to move to 2-1.
Now they get the Tennessee Titans.
And look, this is a game the Ravens should win.
Tennessee is 0-3, their offense has struggled and Baltimore is sitting as a double-digit favourite at home.
But hey we’re the Baltimore Ravens and sometimes we play down to our opponent.
I’m not looking for anything fancy here. To the contrary, this is a game you look to win in the trenches, win the turnover battle and grind out 3rd downs on both sides of the ball.
It’s also a get right game for your defense and your offensive line.
Beat the team you’re supposed to beat.
Let’s get into it.

Gameday Weather
It looks like another rainy gameday in Baltimore, because apparently we can’t have nice things when it comes to tailgating this year. Temperatures should sit in the low-to-mid 60s with showers expected throughout the morning and potentially lingering into the first half.
Winds shouldn’t be much of a factor, so this isn’t shaping up as some crazy weather game — just another wet one. If you’re heading down to the lots early, bring the rain gear and embrace it. At this point, Ravens tailgating in 2026 apparently just comes with rain.
Betting Lines
Spread: Ravens -11.5
Moneyline: Ravens roughly -700 / Titans +500
Over/Under: 42.5
Baltimore is a massive favourite at home, which isn’t surprising given the Titans’ 0-3 start. The more interesting betting angle this week is Derrick Henry playing Tennessee for the first time since leaving the Titans.
Henry’s rushing total is sitting around 96.5–97.5 yards, with his carries around 20.5–21.5 depending on the book. He’s also a massive favourite to find the end zone at around -220 for an anytime touchdown, while 2+ touchdowns is roughly +250 and his first-touchdown price is around +275 to +300.
And I mean, come on. You know everyone in that building knows what the storyline is.
Henry has 301 rushing yards and six touchdowns through three games, has scored in every game this season and now gets his former team for the first time. If Baltimore gets anywhere near the goal line, I have a hard time believing they’re not giving 22 an opportunity to punch one in.
The prop I actually find more interesting is his volume. Over 20.5 carries feels like it fits exactly how this game could play out. Baltimore is an 11.5-point favourite, there’s rain in the forecast and the Ravens are dealing with injuries along the offensive line. If they get ahead, this has all the makings of a heavy Derrick Henry afternoon.
A couple other Ravens props worth watching:
Zay Flowers over 72.5 receiving yards — assuming he’s active and healthy enough to handle his normal workload, the market is expecting another fairly significant game from Zay.
Lamar Jackson anytime TD around +240 — obviously Henry is going to dominate the goal-line conversation, but Lamar’s legs always become a factor when Baltimore gets into scoring territory.
But if you’re looking for the fun narrative bet?
Derrick Henry to score the first touchdown against his old team at around +300.
That’s the one.

Injury Report
Ravens Injury Report
The Ravens are beat up heading into Sunday, particularly along the offensive line.
OUT
OLB Trey Hendrickson — Finger
C Jovaughn Gwyn — Ankle
C Ethan Pocic — Knee
QUESTIONABLE
WR Zay Flowers — Hamstring
WR Chris Moore — Ankle
LT Ronnie Stanley — Toe
Gwyn and Pocic were both placed on IR Saturday after getting hurt against Dallas, so Vega Ioane is expected to start at center after moving there during last week’s game. Add Danny Pinter to the list and the Ravens have already put three centers on IR four weeks into the season.
Not ideal!
The Ravens elevated Kyle Hergel and it appears he’ll act as the backup C.
Ronnie Stanley is questionable again after missing last week’s game. He was limited Wednesday and Thursday before sitting out Friday, although the Ravens said that was a rest day. If he can’t go, Carson Vinson would likely get another start at LT.
Zay Flowers is also questionable with the hamstring, but everything seems to be pointing towards him playing. He was a full participant Thursday and said this week that the hamstring feels good. Our guy JZ expects him to play:
Lamar Jackson showed up on the injury report Wednesday with a back injury, but he practiced fully Thursday and Friday and doesn’t carry a designation.
Defensively, Trey Hendrickson is out after having a procedure on the broken finger he’s been playing through. It isn’t expected to keep him out long, but Baltimore will need Mike Green, Tavius Robinson and the rest of the group to pick up the slack against Cam Ward.
Titans Injury Report
Tennessee is in much better shape.
QUESTIONABLE
RB Tyjae Spears — Ankle
G Garrett Dellinger — Illness
S Kevin Winston Jr. — Shoulder
Nobody was officially ruled out on Tennessee’s final injury report.
Spears went from not practicing Wednesday, to limited Thursday, to full on Friday. Tony Pollard also missed Wednesday with a foot injury before practicing fully the rest of the week and doesn’t carry a designation.
The Titans do have some issues on the offensive line.
Fernando Carmona and Jackson Slater were both placed on IR this week and now Dellinger is questionable with an illness after being promoted to the active roster.
Even without Hendrickson, Baltimore should be able to create some problems here.
Cam Ward is a rookie QB playing behind a beat-up interior offensive line.
Go after him.
