Ravens vs Bears Prediction

The Ravens are coming into this game as a 6 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Ravens have had some extra time to prepare for this game with their last game being played on Thursday night of last week. They lost to the Dolphins in prime time and have been sitting on that loss since then. The offense did not have a good game but they have been playing well all season and they are going to use this game as a bounce back. The Bears have not been playing well in their recent games and their defense is not what it used to be. The Ravens are going to smash them in this game to get right again. The best bet to place in this game is on the Ravens to cover the spread here.
