The Baltimore Ravens (7-4) meet the LA Chargers (7-3) for Monday Night Football in Week 12 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET (ESPN/ABC). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Ravens vs. Chargers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
While the headlines are going to surround Ravens coach John Harbaugh against brother Jim Harbaugh of the Chargers, the real story is MVP candidate QB Lamar Jackson against healthy QB Justin Herbert.
The Ravens are looking to bounce back after a disappointing 18-16 loss in a showdown at Pittsburgh which cost them first place in the AFC North. After the Steelers lost at Cleveland on Thursday, the Ravens can move back to within a half-game of the lead with a win.
The Chargers dominated the Bengals last week on Sunday night, then they sputtered early in the second half before rebounding for the 34-27 win in the fourth quarter. LA has won and covered in 4 straight games, and the offense is back, going for 27 or more points in each of thge past 3 contests.

Ravens at Chargers picks and predictions
Prediction
Ravens 34, Chargers 23
Moneyline
The RAVENS (-150) are moderate favorites, and not a bad play if you want to just pick a straight up winner and not worry about the spread.
Jackson and the Baltimore offense should be angry after last weekend’s setback in the Steel City, and the guys from Charm City should bounce back for a convincing win in the Harbaugh Bowl.
Against the spread
Play RAVENS -2.5 (-105) if you’re a more of a traditional bettor. Baltimore has failed to cover the past 2 outings, while going 1-3 ATS in the past 4 games. It’s especially nice that this went from a flat 3 to 2 and a hook.
Meanwhile, the Chargers +2.5 (-115) are 4-0 ATS in the previous 4 contests. However, McConkey carrying a questionable tag is a concern, since he has grown into a vital role into the offense.
Trust the Baltimore offense to get the job done. Baltimore leads the NFL with 430.1 total yards per game, while rolling up 177.3 rushing yards per contests and 30.4 PPG.
The Bolts have been a lockdown defense this season, but the electric dual threat Jackson and RB Derrick Henry will confuse the home team all night long. LA hasn’t seen such a diversified offense this season.
Over/Under
OVER 50.5 (-110) is a solid play, even though this is a big number.
While Baltimore has a top-notch offense, the defense has been very giving, particularly through the air. With Herbert, he’ll be able to match Jackson pass for pass for most of the game. The Ravens allow 284.5 passing yards per game, which is dead-last in the NFL.
