Baltimore Ravens vs. Los Angeles Chargers: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

The final game in Week 12 of the 2024 NFL season sees John Harbaugh's Baltimore Ravens travel to SoFi Stadium to face Jim Harbaugh's Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football.

The Ravens come into the game on the back of a disappointing 18-16 defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are now one win ahead of them in the race for the AFC North title.

The Chargers are playing second fiddle to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West, but spirits will be high after a 34-27 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11.

Baltimore Ravens vs. Los Angeles Chargers betting picks and predictions

Los Angeles Chargers +2.5 (-105)

The Chargers need the Chiefs to have a dip in form if they are to win the AFC West, but they are still making great progress under head coach Jim Harbaugh.

The hosts have won four games in a row to improve their chances of making the playoffs, and they continue to show signs that they will be competitive against anyone in the NFL.

While the Chargers have lost three games this season, they have yet to lose by more than 10 points.

Baltimore have the second-best offense in the NFL in terms of points scored, racking up 30.4 points per game, which has only been bettered by the Detroit Lions.

However, they face a Chargers defense that has allowed only 14.5 points per game this season, the best in the NFL.

This is a matchup between one of the league's best-scoring offenses and its stingiest defense, and the Chargers have proven each week that they can stay competitive against any team.

Will Dissly Over 42.5 receiving yards (-115)

Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has been playing at a high level for several weeks now, and he should be able to continue that against the Ravens.

Herbert has thrown 246 pass attempts without an interception, which is the longest run in Chargers history.

The 26-year-old has six touchdowns on passes of 20-plus yards downfield, which is tied for the most in the NFL. He should relish the chance to spread the ball around against a Ravens defense that allows the most passing yards per game at 284.5.

The Ravens allow the fourth-most receiving yards to tight ends, meaning Will Dissly should be considered to go Over his yards line of 42.5.

Dissly has caught 37 passes this season for 352 yards, and he should be given the chance to impress this week by the generous Ravens secondary.

Derrick Henry anytime touchdown (-188)

While the Chargers expect to keep this game close, they will have to contain Ravens running back Derrick Henry.

The veteran leads the NFL in rushing yards with 1,185, while he has also scored the most rushing touchdowns with 13.

Henry has only failed to score in one of his 11 appearances this season. The Chargers' rush defense is relatively average compared to their exceptional pass defense, so look for the Ravens to try and establish the ground game.
