Baltimore Ravens vs. Los Angeles Chargers Betting Odds
| Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
| Ravens | -150 | -3 (-105) | Over 50.5 (-120) |
| Chargers | +130 | +3 (-115) | Under 50.5 (+100) |
The Ravens are considered somewhat favored, possibly due to their strong offense and because they have won three of their last four games against the Chargers in Los Angeles. Ravens are the 3-point favorites on the opening line and the combined point total is pegged at a high number of 50.5, betting enthusiasts expecting a high scoring game in the process.
Lamar Jackson QB vs. Justin Herbert QB
Lamar Jackson has been a significant force for Baltimore, steering the ship with 2,876 passing yards alongside 25 TDs and only three interceptions this season. He has an edge over others because of his dual-threat capability, although based on the 15 sacks he’s taken, he may be weak against defenses that have a strong pass rush.
On the other side, Justin Herbert, playing one less game than Jackson, has 2,186 yards in the air, which makes his passing rating commendable at 102.1. Factors such as his precision and ability to deliver under pressure would be vital for him especially as the chargers would be looking for some defensive holes from the Ravens.
The game promises an interesting battle given the fact that both quarter backs are preparing for it in a diverse manner, Jackson showing elusiveness as always while Herbert is metronomic in style. Both styles are effective and hence, as seen in the past, certain performances can determine the look and pace of the game while certain stress factors can shift the dynamics of the game completely.
Ravens’ Ground and Air Attack
On top of all that, Baltimore’s offense also benefits from Derrick Henry’s run game with 1,185 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns. Zay Flowers finished the season with 727 yards, receiving the most targets from Jackson. The Ravens’ performances were a bit up and down during their last five matches—losing to Pittsburgh and Cleveland but beating Cincinnati, Denver, and Tampa Bay—but scored several points in each match, considering the overall plan is to control the game on both the ground and in the air.
Chargers’ Charge
The Los Angeles Chargers also have J.K. Dobbins and Joshua Palmer as their in-form pair. Dobbins helped the team achieve successes over Cincinnati, Tennessee, Cleveland, and New Orleans, scored 726 rushing yards with 8 touchdowns, and made only one mistake against Arizona. Dobbins followed and Palmer is making strides with his 365-yard receiving but needs to be more active with a total of 18.3 yards per every reception which matters a lot against a Ravens team that is often beat by the deep ball.
Baltimore Ravens Betting Trends
The Ravens have shown a tendency to hit the OVER in recent games, with 6 of their last 7 games surpassing the total points line. Their record against the spread is strong, especially on the road against the Chargers, indicating their ability to perform under travel stress and external pressures.
Los Angeles Chargers Betting Trends
Conversely, the Chargers have excelled in beating the spread, with a 5-1 record in their last six games. However, they tend to keep scores lower, as evidenced by the UNDER hitting in 9 of their last 12 games, a trend that might challenge the high total set for this matchup.
Baltimore Ravens vs. Los Angeles Chargers Betting Previews
At first glance, this game is an offense vs. a defense with the Baltimore Ravens having the high-powered offense and the Los Angeles Chargers wits and brawn on defense. After a thorough indepth study on the teams and their present form, a close match is expected but the Ravens may just prevail due to their knack to blitz and a proven history in the same circumstances.
Talking of the bettors, it will be interesting to see the Ravens covering the spread since they have a good history and current form. The over total may also make sense, looking at how fast both teams can put points on the board. Plays on Prop Bets for quarter back’s passing yards as well as rushing leaders may also seem to have value since Jackson and Dobbins are expected to be key players.
Score Prediction: Baltimore Ravens 28, Los Angeles Chargers 24.
