Game Overview

The third Harbaugh Bowl will take place under the bright lights of Monday Night Football, with Jim's Chargers hosting John's Ravens. Historically, this matchup has benefited big brother John, who is 2-0 both straight up and against the spread.

However, those games took place over a decade ago, and this time the stakes are just as high, but in a new shape. Both clubs are vying for AFC playoff positions, with each clinging to a wild card spot.

Jim Harbaugh has set up his Chargers for success on the field and in the betting markets. Los Angeles has a top-five cover rate (70%) in the NFL, with a 5-1 record against the spread (ATS) since the beginning of October and a perfect 4-0-1 ATS record at home this season.

On the other hand, the Ravens have recently struggled, resulting in fewer favorable betting results. Baltimore is 1-3 ATS since Week 8, including losses in their last two road games where they were favored.

Despite this, Baltimore still has the league's highest-graded offense (88.1) and leads in EPA per play this season, however, their recent performance has been disappointing. To prevent another disappointing performance against a Chargers defense that ranks third in the league in EPA allowed per play, Baltimore will need solid performances from Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, who are coming off their lowest-graded games of the season.

Given the Chargers' recent offensive prowess, this may prove difficult. Since the beginning of November, Los Angeles has earned the NFL's third-highest offensive grade (80.3), because of Justin Herbert's outstanding performance.
