Bears vs Ravens Prediction
The current betting odds have the Bears listed as a 6.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bears have looked good in their games this season with their 4-2 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the NFC North, but also playing in a really tough division without a single team being under .500. They started the season 0-2, but their new head coach is really turning things around in Chicago as the team has won 4 games in a row now. They are finding ways to win in tight games and now they are coming off a 26-14 win over the Saints in their last one. Meanwhile, the Ravens have looked terrible in their games this season with their 1-5 record overall which has them right at the bottom of the AFC North. They are off a 17-3 loss at home to the Rams in their last one and they haven't looked good lately with Lamar Jackson being out, but they haven't looked good all season even with Jackson playing due to their defense being a complete mess. They are coming out of their bye week now and Lamar Jackson could be back, but it is still uncertain if he is going to play and that is going to have a huge impact on the game. Even with Jackson playing, there is no guarantee that the defense is going to look any better and this Bears offense has looked a lot better lately so they will be able to put up some points here to keep this game close. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bears to cover the spread in this game.
