Chargers vs Ravens Prediction
The current betting odds have the Chargers listed as a 4.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Chargers have looked terrible in their games this season with their 0-8 record overall which has them right at the bottom of the AFC West with the worst record in the NFL. They have been a terrible road team too with their 0-4 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Ravens haven't looked good in their games this season with their 4-5 record overall which has them right at the bottom of the AFC North. They haven't looked good on their home field either with their 1-3 home record this season. This is a terrible game between two disaster teams this year and this game shouldn't even be played at all, let alone in prime time. The Ravens did have a good start to the season and it looked like they were going to take back the AFC North this year, but disaster struck once Lamar Jackson got hurt and now they don't have much hope as a team. They are coming off a 33-10 loss to the Jaguars in their last one and they have looked terrible over the last few weeks with no real option at QB. They made a trade for Jacoby Brissett and he will be starting this game, but he isn't going to turn this offense around. The defense has also had some big issues this season and hasn't been able to hold onto any leads when they do get one. The Chargers are somehow worse as they are the only winless team left in the NFL and they are coming off another blow out loss, losing 44-22 to the Texans in their last one. They finally scored a TD in that game after going 2 games without one and they will be looking to build on that. As bad as the Chargers have been this season, they are going to be desperate in this game to get their 1st win and with the current state of the Ravens, this might be the Chargers best chance to win a game this year since they are going to have the better QB. The best way to place a bet here is on the Chargers to cover the spread in this game.
