As the NFL season progresses, the upcoming matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and the Los Angeles Chargers on November 26, 2023, is generating significant buzz. With the Ravens favored by 3 points and a total over/under (O/U) of 49.5, this game promises to be a showdown of strategy and skill.
The Ravens' Flight Path
The Baltimore Ravens come into this game with an impressive season record of 8-3 straight up (SU) and a notable 7-4-0 against the spread (ATS). Their performance in recent games suggests a team in good form, having won 4 of their last 5 games both SU and ATS. The Ravens have shown they can rack up the points, averaging over 27 points per game across their last 15 games. With a Market Spread Value (MSV) of -11.19, they are positioned as a strong contender for covering the spread in this matchup.
Chargers' Charge
The Los Angeles Chargers, while not as dominant in their season record with 4-6 SU and 4-6-0 ATS, hold a significant edge in the Chances of Covering (C.O.C) at 63%. This statistic indicates their potential to outperform the expectations set by the point spread. The Chargers' home record this season stands at 2-3 SU and ATS, suggesting they face a tough challenge against the Ravens. However, their home-field advantage and a 54% chance of the game going over the set total points (C.O.G.O) could play a crucial role in their performance.
Statistical Breakdown and Trends
- Ravens' Strengths: The Ravens have a strong Away record this season, with 4-1 SU and 3-2-0 ATS. Their ability to perform under different conditions is highlighted by their 8-2 record SU when played as the away team with 9 days off since 1996.
- Chargers' Home Advantage: The Chargers, with their 44.45% strength of schedule in the last 7 games, have a less intimidating record than the Ravens but are known for surprises, especially at home.
