Another week of NFL action continues on Sunday with 14 Week 2 matchups after the Buffalo Bills opened the week with a win over the Miami Dolphins on “Thursday Night Football.”
One of Sunday’s early clashes is between two winless AFC teams in the Baltimore Ravens and Las Vegas Raiders.
Baltimore lost a one-score game to the Kansas City Chiefs to open the season last Thursday and heads home looking to secure its first win of the season. Las Vegas will play its second straight game against a Harbaugh brother to open the 2024 season after losing to Jim Harbaugh and the Los Angeles Chargers one week ago.

USA TODAY: Ravens 31, Raiders 20
Tyler Dragon writes: “The Raiders go from one Harbaugh brother to the next. They’ll end Week 2 0-2 against the Harbaughs. The Ravens were frustrated after their Week 1 loss, but they have some things they walked away confident about. Baltimore can’t be so dependent on Lamar Jackson.”
Sportsbook Wire: Ravens 21, Raiders 17
Corey Scott writes: “It’s likely that the Ravens (-450) bounce back at home after Week 1’s heartbreaking loss.”
Pickswise: Lay the points for Baltimore
Ricky Dimon writes: “Although I don’t like giving this many points in almost any NFL game, I don’t like backing the Raiders to an even greater extent. I can’t see them keeping a road game against one of the best teams in football under a double-digit threshold, so I’m going with Baltimore for my Raiders vs Ravens pick.”
