About the Ravens (7-4 SU, 5-5-1 ATS, 9-2 o/u)
After suffering a discouraging loss in a winnable matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11, the Baltimore Ravens are going to need to dig deep in order to maintain their playoff contention and make a push toward the division title in the AFC North.
Sporting no shortage of overall talent, the Ravens have struggled to maintain consistent play, having played down to the level of their competition when facing an inferior opponent.
From a betting perspective, the Ravens have been solid in 2024. With a strong 7-4 record straight-up, the Ravens have also been a 50/50 squad against the spread. Where the Ravens have shined this season comes from their ability to put points on the board.
Holding the highest over-rate in the NFL this season at a staggering 81.8%, the Ravens are no strangers to high-scoring shootouts. Hoping to continue rolling offensively, the Ravens will look to hit double digits in games that have exceeded the projected point total in Week 12.
About the Chargers (7-3 SU, 7-3 ATS, 3-7 o/u)
Coming off of a mediocre 2023 season, the Chargers have done a full 180 in 2024. With Jim Harbaugh turning the Chargers into a legitimate contender within the AFC in just his first season with the team, the Chargers have blossomed into a fierce unit that has scored big wins against tough competition such as the Denver Broncos and Cincinnati Bengals.
Not only have the Chargers had success on the gridiron when it comes to wins-and-losses, but they’ve also been a fruitful option for NFL bettors. Sporting not just a 7-3 straight-up record, the Chargers have also covered in seven of their 10 games played this season.
Another area the Chargers have excelled in is keeping the score low in order to win you some dough, sporting one of the highest under-rates in the NFL this season at 70%, only trailing the Houston Texans in this regard entering into Week 12.
Thanks to their superb defence, the Chargers have had plenty of games finish with low final scores, having only exceeded 40 total points twice in 2024, with both of these examples occurring in the past two weeks.

Ravens vs. Chargers Predictions
- Set to get back into the win column as they wrap up Week 12 in the NFL, bank on the Ravens to cover the single-score spread against the Chargers. While the Bolts have been an intriguing story to watch in the NFL this season, their record is somewhat inflated. With only one win over a team with a winning record, the Chargers have struggled against legitimate competition. With the Ravens’ strengths playing directly into the weaknesses of the Chargers, look for the Ravens to control the pace of the game resulting in a decisive victory by three or more points.
- While the Ravens have been no stranger to high-scoring ball games in 2024, look for the score to remain low against the Chargers on Monday Night Football. While both sides have shown big-play potential throughout the regular season, both sides rely on their stellar defences to win games. Look for each squad to rely heavily on the rushing attack in order to generate yardage, leading to the clock quickly draining, and resulting in a low-scoring clash. Hammer the Under on the Ravens vs. Chargers as 51 points is far too steep to bet on for Monday Night Football.
