Los Angeles has played under the total point line in 9 of their last 12 games overall, 4 of their last 5 games against Baltimore, 5 of their last 7 games in Week 12, and in their last six games played on Monday. The Ravens are 7-2 SU in their last 9 games overall, 4-1 SU in their last 5 games against the Chargers, and 4-1 SU in their last 5 games in November.

Prediction and Conclusion

It will be interesting to see the Harbaugh brothers face each other as head coaches of NFL teams. John has led the Chargers to four straight wins and hopes to keep that streak alive when his team goes against the Ravens. The Chargers are two games behind the first-place Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West but are in a great situation to reach the playoffs. The same can be said for the Ravens as well, as they are in second place in the AFC North, one game behind the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Ravens have won the teams’ past four regular-season meetings, but the host Chargers recorded a 23-17 wild-card victory over Baltimore following the 2018 regular season. When it comes to the winner, this game can go either way, but given the fact that they have played under in their last four meetings and the total point line is set at 50.5, we definitely go with the under.
