Ravens vs Chargers prop betting picks: 2 best bets for SNF

Sunday Night Football in Week 12 pits the Baltimore Ravens against the Los Angeles Chargers. Baltimore comes in with the best record in the AFC (8-3, tied with Miami), while Los Angeles is struggling at 4-6. Although the Ravens are considerable favorites, it should be an entertaining and perhaps high-scoring affair. Led by quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Justin Herbert, respectively, there will be plenty of star power on the field between Baltimore and L.A.

Let’s take a look at the best player prop bets to be made, and also make sure to check out our full Ravens vs Chargers picks.

  

Lamar Jackson, QB, BAL Over 234.5 passing yards (-115 at DraftKings)

The Chargers are saddled with the worst passing defense in the entire league, allowing 291.6 yards per Game. Head coach Brandon Staley’s team is also dead last in yards per pass attempt allowed at a disastrous 8.1. Even without tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) at his disposal, Jackson should be in line to go wild on Sunday. The former NFL MVP has passed for at least 223 yards in 6 of the last 8 Games, so asking him to go over the 234 mark – especially against an opponent like Los Angeles — really isn’t too much. He went for 264 against Cincinnati last Thursday. With L.A. linebacker Joey Bosa not around to pressure Jackson (Bosa is on injured reserve with a foot injury), I’m anticipating heaps of passing yards for Jackson. The line is much higher at FanDuel, so go ahead and grab this at DraftKings while it’s still available.

  

Austin Ekeler, RB, Los Angeles Chargers Over 84.5 rushing + receiving yards (-115 at DraftKings)

Perhaps no unit in Football has made more significant strides from 2021 and 2022 than Baltimore’s passing defense. It was the worst in the league 2 seasons ago and still pretty bad last year, but now it is among the best. The Ravens are #3 in overall passing defense and #1 by a country mile in yards per pass attempt allowed (a mere 5.5). Los Angeles is going to have to run the ball while also mixing in some dump passes, because it isn’t going to beat Baltimore’s secondary. This has all the makings of a big day for Ekeler, who has rushed for at least 64 yards in 2 straight Games and has recorded 94, 23 and 48 receiving yards in 3 of the last 4. Baltimore is in the bottom half of the NFL in receiving yards allowed to running backs at more than 30 per contest. In addition to this rushing + receiving prop, I also like Ekeler to go over 48.5 rushing yards.

Russell Westbrook signs with Clippers: Former MVP lands back in L.A. after Lakers trade, per report

Former NBA MVP Russell Westbrook plans to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers once he finalizes a buyout with the Utah Jazz, his agent told Adrian Wojnarowski. Westbrook was trade d from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Jazz as part of a three-team deal ahead of the trade deadline earlier this month. In 52 games for the Lakers this season, the majority of them off the bench, Westbrook averaged 15.9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game. But while his counting stats were still solid, his defense, inefficient shooting (41.7 percent from the field, 29.6 percent from 3-point land) and poor fit next to LeBron James and Anthony Davis were once again a problem for the Lakers. There was also the fact that James was publicly lobbying for the team to trade him, which did not help the vibes in the locker room.  But despite some of Westbrook's issues with the Lakers, and his declining play in recent years, the Clipp...

Bruno Fernandes names Portugal teammate he wants Man Utd to sign

Image
Bruno Fernandes has encouraged Manchester United to act on their interest in Benfica midfielder Joao Neves. United have regularly scouted the 19-year-old and were in attendance as he shone in Benfica's recent 2-1 win over Sporting CP, watching the teenager alongside scouts from both Arsenal and Liverpool. Neves' excellent form this season has seen him rewarded with two caps for the Portugal national team. The youngster came off the bench for the final five minutes of October's 5-0 win over Bosnia & Herzegovina and saw another three minutes against Liechtenstein on Thursday. Asked about United's interest in Neves, Fernandes admitted he'd be keen to see the teenager join him at Old Trafford but only if manager Erik ten Hag sees a future for him. "It has to be the Manchester United coach who says whether he has a place in the team or not," Fernandes told a press conference. "He's a great player, I don't know if he would have a place or not. I...
