Bears vs Ravens predictions

Here are our early thoughts on the spread and total for this week’s game. We will have a full game preview (with a best bet and SGP) later in the week.

Early Bears vs Ravens spread pick: Bears +6.5

-106 at FanDuel

It was another poor start to the season for the Bears, who the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions beat in Weeks 1 and 2. However, they’ve responded in a big way under Caleb Williams, running off four straight victories. 

The Bears are playing with a ton of confidence right now, and the Ravens aren’t exactly in great shape. While Lamar Jackson is expected to return from injury on Sunday, Chicago is showing they can compete with top teams.

I mean, they’ve grabbed victories against the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders. They’re also 4-2-0 ATS in 2025. I’ll take the Bears to at least keep this one close, if not win outright. 

Early Bears vs Ravens total pick: Under 49.5

-110 at FanDuel

The Ravens offense obviously will have a much different look with Lamar under center, but they’ve scored a mere 13 points across the last two games. I don’t expect Jackson to just step in and ball out immediately, especially because the Bears have been playing well defensively as of late, too. 

Chicago has cashed the Under 49.5 points in its last three games, and while it could put up points in bunches here, this isn’t typically a high-scoring matchup. This is also a higher total than we usually see, and I do not expect a shootout in Baltimore. 

There’s clear value in the Under.
