Money Line Mauling NFL 8*
(NFL) LA Chargers vs. Baltimore, 10/17/2021 1:00 PM, Score: 6 - 34
Money Line: -140.00 Baltimore (Home)
Result: Win
8* Baltimore Ravens Money Line -140 vs Los Angeles Chargers @ 1 ET - We have a choice of here of laying a little extra juice on the -2.5 or, instead, just add a little more price to that and turn a 1 and 2 point non-covering victory into a win at the betting counter. That said, I am going to take the latter of the two choices and lay a -140 price on the money line here. Look for the Ravens to get the job done at home. They are the much better defensive team when it comes to defending the run. I also look for Baltimore to step up big here at home on defense after a bad effort versus the Colts on Monday night. The Ravens do have a very potent ground attack on offense and Los Angeles is the worst team in the NFL at defending the run. That said, this could be a key in how this game plays out. I look for Baltimore to pull away as the game goes on as their ground game wears down the Chargers defense. LA is playing right into the teeth of revenge here too as the Ravens lost at home to them in the 2018 playoffs. Yes that is a few seasons ago but this is the Chargers first visit since and teams do not forget home playoff losses! Los Angeles off to a great start this season but I feel they are a bit over-rated and have more confidence in the Ravens defense stepping up at home than the Chargers doing so on the road. Both offenses very potent for sure. 8* BALTIMORE -140
