Current Odds:
Los Angeles Chargers 41.5
Baltimore Ravens -2.5

It is tough to win 12 games and still have to take the wild card route in the playoffs, but a tiebreaker cost the Chargers the AFC West title against Kansas City. They will try and make the most of the opportunity following a 7-1 run on the road this season both straight-up and against the spread on Elite-rated VietBet’s closing betting line. They beat Denver 23-9 on Sunday as seven-point road favorites. The total has stayed UNDER in three of their last five road games.

Just two weeks ago, Los Angeles was on the wrong end of a 22-10 loss at home to the Ravens as four-point favorites. Veteran quarterback Philip Rivers completed 23-of-37 passing attempts for 181 yards and zero touchdowns against two interceptions in one of his rougher outings this year. The Chargers were held to just 51 yards rushing on 16 carries in that loss.

Baltimore went 6-1 SU (4-3 ATS) over its final seven games with Sunday’s 26-24 victory against Cleveland as a seven-point home favorite. It has failed to cover in five of its last six games played at home as part of an overall 8-8 record ATS. The Ravens are 4-8 ATS this season when closing as favorites on VietBet’s betting line. The total has gone OVER in four of their last seven games overall.

Lamar Jackson took over the reins as Baltimore’s starting quarterback with the added dimension of making plays both throwing and running the ball. He ended the regular season with 1,201 yards passing with six passing touchdowns while adding another 695 rushing yards and five touchdowns on the ground. Much of the Ravens’ success over the second half of the season can be credited to a points-allowed average of 17.9.

The Chargers’ previous loss to Baltimore at home could serve them well on the road this time around. Look for Rivers to quickly return to form to lead his team on a SU win this Sunday.
