The host Baltimore Ravens are the early Week 3 favorites in their marquee MNF clash with the Kansas City Chiefs.

In an early candidate for NFL Game of the Year, the Baltimore Ravens (2-0) host the Kansas City Chiefs (2-0) in Week 3 at M&T Bank Stadium on Monday Night Football. The Ravens enter the week as betting favorites with home-field advantage. Below, we take a look at the early Week 2 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Super Bowl LIV champion Chiefs nearly suffered a shocking upset on the road against the Los Angeles Chargers and rookie QB Justin Herbert in Week 2. PK Harrison Butker needed to hit field goals to force overtime and then win the game with 1:55 remaining in the extra session.
