Ravens vs Chargers Prediction

The current betting odds have the Ravens listed as a 2.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Ravens have looked good in their games this season with their 7-4 record overall which has them in 2nd place of the AFC North and fighting for a Wild Card spot. They are coming off a tough loss to the Steelers by 2 points in their last one, a game that put the Steelers on top of the division for now, but the Ravens will be looking to bounce back with a better performance and this game being on Monday helps them with extra rest. Meanwhile, the Chargers have looked really good in their games this season with their 7-3 record overall which has them in 2nd place of the AFC West and chasing down the Chiefs in 1st place. The Chargers are also holding down a Wild Card spot and they have looked a lot better in their games lately, but last week they had a really close call against the Bengals. They are coming off a win against the Bengals by 7 points, but that was a game they were up big at halftime and blew it in the 2nd half, almost going down late in the game if it wasn't for a missed Bengals field goal. The defense has looked great all year as they have been one of the best in the NFL, but they struggled against one of the best offenses last week in the 2nd half and the Ravens also have one of the best offenses in the NFL with the way they can put up points. This game is a battle between brothers who last met each other in the Super Bowl over a decade ago, but John got the best of Jim in that Super Bowl and he will do the same in this one. The best way to place a bet here is on the Ravens to cover the spread in this game.

Ravens Chargers Prediction:  Our NFL Pick for Monday, November 25, 2024 (8:15 pm ET start time) is Ravens 23 Chargers 20.
