Sunday’s late NFL game will be a clash between the Baltimore Ravens (10-3) and the San Diego Chargers (6-7).
The Ravens are currently a 2.5-point road favorite and have been bet up after debuting at just -1.5 earlier in the week.
The total started off at 45 but has been bet down to 44.
San Diego might not be the favorite but they should be happy to know that the home team has covered the point spread in 6 of the last 8 head-to-head meetings between the Chargers and the Ravens.
Baltimore won 31-26 on the road most recently in 2009 as 1-point underdogs, but the Chargers were 32-14 winners in 2007 as 9-point favorites.
The Ravens have covered the point spread in 4 of the 5 clashes since 2000, while the over has been a winner in the two most recent matchups.
The Ravens have won 4 straight games heading into Sunday night’s showdown, but they’ve only covered the point spread in 2 of those victories.
Baltimore has gone under in 3 straight games but has gone over in 8 of their 13 on the season.
The Ravens have been a good bet this season and have covered the point spread in 8 of their 13 games.
San Diego has only covered the point spread 4 times all year but they’ve won 2 straight games after losing 6 in a row previously.
The Chargers have gone under the total in 3 of their last 5 and 7 of 13 on the year.
The good news for the Chargers is that they are 4-3 this season in San Diego, while the Ravens are just 3-3 when playing outside of Baltimore.
The over has been a winner in 8 of the Chargers’ last 11 games when listed as a home underdog.
