Another exciting Monday Night Football in the NFL is coming up soon between the Baltimore Ravens (7-4) and Los Angeles Chargers (7-3) on Monday, November 25 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Betting markets reveal the Ravens slightly favored with a point spread at -3.0 (-105).
Baltimore Ravens Betting Preview
The Ravens just had their two game win streak snapped with an 18-16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. This rivalry has been a close battle it seems like forever, but this one was a little different.
Lamar Jackson completed 16 of 33 passes for 207 yards and a touchdown. He threw an interception as well, which was a key contributor to their demise. Overall they had three turnovers compared to the Steelers’ one.
The Ravens only had possession of the ball for just under 24 minutes, which hurt their chances since they needed more time to correct their mistakes. Other than turning the ball over, this was a fairly reasonable matchup on paper.
Their offense has been producing 30.4 points per game and ranks second in the league. Defensively they rank 23rd in the league for averaging 24.6. While their offense is impressive at times, their defense is atrocious.
Los Angeles Chargers Betting Preview
The Chargers have found success in their last four games. Their latest triumph was a 34-27 performance over the Cincinnati Bengals, where they were down as many as 21 points and came back late in the fourth quarter to seal it.
Justin Herbert completed 17 of his 36 passes for 297 yards and two touchdowns. He also led in rushing yards with five carries totaling 56 yards. He will need to rely more on his passing game to free up the ground for his teammates if they want to succeed.
By the end result, you would have never known that the Bengals had a 21 point lead. Both teams had similar stats throughout, but the Bengals had the ball in their hands longer at about 34 minutes.
The Chargers are 18th in the league in scoring 22.0 points per game. Their defense has been outstanding when looking at how many points they allow, which is 14.5 a game and it ranks first in the league.
