Bears vs Ravens prediction

Bears vs Ravens Best bet: Bears +6.5 (-110)

This is a must-win game for the Baltimore Ravens if they’re going to have any chance at a postseason, and they’ll be feeling more confident with Lamar Jackson looking likely to return, having trained on Thursday this week.

The team has lost both games without their signal caller, but even with Jackson, they’re failing to cover games, with only one of six games covered by the Ravens.

Meanwhile, the Chicago Bears are finding their groove under Ben Johnson and have won four games in a row, making the battle to win the NFC North look very crowded. They’ve been fortunate in facing some weaker teams in that timespan, but they’ve been improving.

The offense ranks only two spots lower than the Ravens in DVOA, but the defense ranks eight spots higher. The Bears have covered the spread in their previous four games, as well as winning them, while the Ravens haven’t covered since their game against the Browns back in Week Two.

The Bears aren’t the finished article yet, but they’ve covered in three of four games as an underdog and two of three games on the road.

They’re improving every week and will be confident against a Ravens team looking to find its feet and a quarterback who won’t be fully healthy yet.

Bears vs Ravens same-game parlay

In addition to our best bet, we’re going to back Rome Odunze to find the end zone. He’s scored four times in six games for the Bears this season and leads the teams in red zone targets.

We’re also taking Lamar Jackson to have Over 227.5 passing yards. The Bears have given up an average of 212.3 passing yards per game this season but we’ll likely see Jackson exceed that. 

Bears vs Ravens SGP

  • Bears +6.5
  • Rome Odunze anytime touchdown
  • Lamar Jackson Over 227.5 passing yards

Our big-ticket SGP: Money Monangai!

Our lottery same-game parlay adds two further legs. We’re back to bet on Odunze once again, and taking him to hit the Over on his receiving yards line of 59.5. He’s hit that in three of six games, but now faces a Ravens team that’s given up the fifth most yards through the air this season, while he also leads the team in both receptions and targets.

We’re then backing Kyle Monangai to score. The Bears’ rookie hasn’t overtaken D’Andre Swift on the depth chart, but he offers something different. He had 13 carries to Swift’s 19 in their last game, and with Swift questionable, we could see that number grow, making him a value long-shot to score.

Bears vs Ravens SGP

  • Bears +6.5
  • Rome Odunze anytime touchdown
  • Lamar Jackson Over 227.5 passing yards
  • Rome Odunze Over 59.5 receiving yards
  • Kyle Monangai anytime touchdown
