Windy City Gridiron
Talk about the Monday Night Football matchup with us here.
Two of the AFC’s top teams are facing off on Monday Night Football, as the (7-4) Baltimore Ravens take on the (7-3) Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. You can watch the game on ESPN/ABC at 7:15 (CT), and the Manning brothers will be doing their Manningcast thing tonight on ESPN2.
The Chargers have won four in a row, while Baltimore has split their last four, but our partners at FanDuel Sportsbook have the visiting Ravens down as a 3-point favorite. The 50.5 points over/under is tied for the highest of week 12.
This will be the first time L.A. head coach Jim Harbaugh will be across the field from his older brother, Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh, since Super Bowl XLVII when John’s Ravens beat Jim’s 49ers 34 to 31.
As for tonight, I like Big Bro to make it two in a row in a close one. The Chargers have a good run defense, but they haven't faced a duo like running back Derrick Henry (1,185 rushing yards) and quarterback Lamar Jackson (584 rushing yards) yet. If the Chargers do manage to slow Baltimore’s rushing attack down, then Jackson is more than ready to air it out. He leads the league in several passing categories and is in the midst of his best season.
I expect a shoot-out, so give me the over with a final score prediction of 34 to 29.
Who are you picking in tonight’s game?
