The Ravens have been one of the hottest teams in the NFL this season. They have a record of 7-4 and are in second place in a loaded AFC North Division. The catalyst for this Ravens season has been the play of their starting quarterback, Lamar Jackson. Coming into Baltimore’s Week 12 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers he has accrued 2,876 yards, 25 touchdowns, and only three interceptions He is also on pace to have the highest completion percentage of his career. But for the first time this season against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Jackson looked human for the first time this season as he threw for under 250 yards for the first time since Week 4 against the Bills now going up against another stout defense that features the likes of Joey Bosa and Derwin James, Jackson could be in for another long night.
After a lackluster 2023 season, the Los Angeles Chargers have returned with a vengeance. Under the leadership of first-year head coach Jim Harbaugh, the Chargers now sit on top of the AFC West with a 7-4 record. With the Chiefs finally dropping their first game of the season to the Buffalo Bills last Sunday, things are starting to take a different shape in the division. With the Chargers trailing by only three games and one matchup with the division-leading Chiefs remaining, things could get interesting as the season nears its conclusion. In addition, Justin Herbert has looked like a brand-new quarterback under the new Harbaugh regime. He has thrown five touchdowns in his last three games.
The Ravens come into this matchup as the three-point favorite, but anything could happen in this explosive matchup.
