MNF open thread: Ravens-Chargers gambling lines and picks for tonight’s game

Week 12 in the NFL wraps up with a family affair as John Harbaugh and the Baltimore Ravens take on Jim Harbaugh and the Los Angeles Chargers tonight on Monday Night Football.

The Harbaugh Bowl has more than bragging rights at the Thanksgiving table on the line. The Chargers and Ravens currently hold the fifth and sixth seeds in the AFC Playoff standings, heading into the contest at 7-3 and 7-4, respectively. So, there’s plenty on the line in the game during this “must-watch” contest.

This is your place to discuss the game with other Las Vegas Raiders fans and any gambling picks you have as the lines below are provided by FanDuel Sportsbook.

Ravens vs. Chargers

• Spread: BAL -2.5
• O/U: 50.5
• BAL ML: -144
• LAC ML: +122

Holder’s picks: LAC +2.5, Under 50.5, LAC ML

While John is 2-0 against Jim, including a Super Bowl XLVII victory, I’m siding with the little brother tonight as a home underdog since Jim is due for a win in the head-to-head matchup. Also, the Ravens have been inconsistent this season while the Chargers are hot, winning their last four games and five out of the previous six. And I feel like you have to take the under in a matchup between two Harbaughs.

For the injury report, the Ravens have ruled safety Sanoussi Kane (ankle) and cornerback Arther Maulet (calf) out and linebacker Roquan Smith (hamstring) is unlikely to play, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Meanwhile, tight end Hayden Hurst (hip) and linebacker Denzel Perryman (groin) won’t be suiting up for Los Angeles.
