Sports Seriously
Primetime is the perfect place for this matchup as a pair of 7-win teams − the Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers − each looking to stay alive in their respective division races go head-to-head Monday night.
Each team brings different strengths to the table. The Chargers have been tremendous against the run this year, surrendering only three rushing touchdowns this year, the fewest in the NFL. However, the Ravens have arguably the best ground attack in the league. Can Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson overcome the Chargers’ stout run defense, or will Justin Herbert and company do enough to hand the Ravens their fifth loss?
Here are our experts’ predictions for this Week 12 showdown.

Lorenzo Reyes: Chargers 24, Ravens 23
The Ravens are a frustrating team, one that commits self-inflicted errors and one whose kicker suddenly is unreliable. In the battle of the Harbaughs, older brother Jim’s Chargers are playing more physical football and boast the NFL’s best scoring defense.
Tyler Dragon: Ravens 25, Chargers 23
The Harbaugh Bowl will start the week of Thanksgiving. John is 2-0 against his brother. Can Jim finally notch a win against his older brother? The Chargers have exceeded expectations this year under Jim. But the Ravens are the more complete team.
Richard Morin: Ravens 28, Chargers 27
Baltimore won’t let its loss to Pittsburgh linger beyond this week. The Ravens prevail in the return of the Harbaugh Bowl.
Jordan Mendoza: Ravens 31, Chargers 30
The battle of the Harbaughs will make great TV. Baltimore has to thank Cincinnati for proving the Los Angeles defense is breakable. Even though the Chargers are capable of putting up a good offensive performance, the Ravens go crazy in a much-needed victory.
