Los Angeles @ Baltimore

Current Records: Los Angeles 4-1; Baltimore 4-1

What to Know

The Baltimore Ravens' homestand continues as they prepare to take on the Los Angeles Chargers at 1 p.m. ET Oct. 17 at M&T Bank Stadium. These two teams might be coming in a bit winded after having run the length of the field multiple times in their most recent games.

It may have taken overtime to finish the job, but Baltimore ultimately got the result they were hoping for last week with a 31-25 win over the Indianapolis Colts. The victory came about thanks to a strong surge after the third quarter to overcome a 22-9 deficit. QB Lamar Jackson had a stellar game for the Ravens as he passed for four TDs and 442 yards on 43 attempts in addition to picking up 62 yards on the ground.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles' offense rose to the challenge against a Cleveland defense that boasted an average of only 16.75 points allowed. They got past the Cleveland Browns with less than a touchdown to spare, ending up at 47-42. The Chargers' QB Justin Herbert was on fire, passing for four TDs and 398 yards on 43 attempts in addition to punching in one rushing touchdown. Near the top of the highlight reel was Herbert's 72-yard TD bomb to WR Mike Williams in the second quarter.

This next contest is expected to be close, with Baltimore going off at just a 2.5-point favorite. But bettors beware: they are 0-3 against the spread when favored.

When the teams previously met three seasons ago, Baltimore was in the race but had to settle for second with a 23-17 finish. The loss knocked them out of the playoffs, so expect them to come at Los Angeles with a vengeful fire.
