In like manner - todays’ game: AFC: #7 Los Angeles Chargers at #6 Baltimore Ravens at 11:05 am MT on CBS, M&T Bank Stadium
Yet another close one which could be an upset especially if the Ravens do what the Seahawks did - not play to their offensive strength..
Game plan for the Ravens should be to mostly run. Trouble for the Ravens right there because playoff teams are always wanting to pass (except inexplicably last night with the Seahawks). Watch the Ravens’ QB - if his feet start going up and down like pistons, like a little kid when he has to go pee - if you see that too much, the Ravens could be in a pickle.
Game plan for the Chargers should be a balanced attack of both run & pass.
Prediction: Ravens win.

Here’s the match-up when the Ravens have the ball (2018 season stats):
Ravens’ Offense: .# 13 in scoring, ...24th in pass ydg, ..........12th in run ydg
Chargers’ Defense: # 8 in scoring, .....9th against pass ydg,.. 11th against run ydg
It is obvious from the stats above that the Ravens will do better RUNNING against the Chargers.
The way the Ravens are playing they are lucky to be down only by nine. That said, if they get their act together, they are not out of this game.
The Ravens offense has been... nonexistent. The defense has actually played quite well. Still not over but not looking too good for the home team.
