Bears vs. Ravens Odds
Game Preview
Chicago is fantastic, and the team from the Windy City won four in a row. And we can’t say their schedule was weak, because among other rivals, the Bears defeated the Cowboys and the Commanders, the latter on the road. Their most recent victory was against the Saints at home, 26-14.
Ben Johnson’s defense dominated the game, forcing 4 turnovers and sacking Spencer Rattler 4 times. Also, the Bears limited the Saints’ RB Alvin Kamara to only 28 rushing yards on 11 carries, limiting the rivals to 44 yards on the ground.
Bears HC Ben Johnson gave a game ball to his defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, the former Saints HC.

The offense is a tragedy as the Ravens scored only 13 points combined in the past two games at home, losing to the Texans 44-10 and the Rams 17-3. This tells pretty much enough.
But that should change, as Lamar reportedly returns. Still, we don’t know is he fully recovered, and in what state is his hamstring. To be honest, we aren’t 100% sure Jackson plays at all. There’s plenty of questions surrounding the Ravens, and just a few answers.
Bears vs. Ravens Head to Head
Ravens lead the series 4-3 against the Bears.
Bears vs. Ravens Predictions
The Bears will level the all-time series record, as we expect them to win this event. Chicago’s groove is much better, and they come riding a huge momentum, while the Ravens have tremendous pressure upon them. They might have Lamar back, but even if they do, he is coming out of an injury, and faces the in-form Bears defense.
