The Ravens have won five of their last six games and three of their last four road games. They are playing very well offensively and scored more than 30 points in five straight games.
They have the best running game in the league and they can also throw the ball efficiently thanks to Lamar Jackson. The Chargers have played well against the run, but they have the worst pass defense in the league, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Ravens in this game.
The Chargers have lost two straight games and two of their last three home games. They have played well offensively, scoring more than 25 points per game. They throw the ball very well and also have a good running game.
But, the Ravens have a very good run defense and the third-best pass defense in the league. They lead the league in sacks and they also force a lot of turnovers, so expect them to be all over Herbert and force him to cough up the ball. Go with Baltimore to cover the spread.
