Ravens vs Chargers Prediction
The current betting odds have the Ravens listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Ravens have looked really good this season with their 8-3 record overall and they have been looking like one of the best teams in the NFL over the last few weeks. They just beat the Bengals in a big divisional matchup last week and they have had extra rest for this game now since they played on Thursday night. Meanwhile, the Chargers haven't looked great in their games this season with their 4-6 record overall and they haven't even been that good in their home games either with their 2-3 home record. The Chargers had high hopes at the start of the season but now they are at the bottom of their division and things are looking really bleak for them with the injuries starting to pile up too. The Ravens have been on a roll lately and they have been beating a lot of good teams in the NFL too. The best way to place a bet here is on the Ravens to cover the spread in this game.
Ravens Chargers Prediction: Our NFL Pick for Sunday, November 26, 2023 (8:20 pm ET start time) is Ravens 31 Chargers 21.

Notable Quotes
“He was flying. That's a Florida boy. We're known for speed.” - Lamar Jackson on Nelson Agholor after their win against the Bengals in their last game.
“I have full confidence in our way of playing. Full confidence in myself as the play-caller and the way that we teach and the way that we scheme. Full confidence in that. We’ve got to bring this group together and do it consistently, and that’s where it’s at. You can stop asking that question. I’m going to be calling the defenses, so we’re clear. So you don’t have to ask that again.” - Brandon Staley after his team’s loss against the Packers in their last game.
