Ravens vs. Bears betting preview
Odds: Ravens -6.5, over/under 50
Ben Johnson's offense has picked up the pace over Chicago's four-game streak and enters Week 8 averaging 346.5 total yards and 25.3 points. D'Andre Swift averaged 7.1 yards per carry with a touchdown over his last two games, and he should feast on a struggling Ravens run defense. Chicago's own defense is allowing 350.0 yards per game but is good at applying pressure, so it could take advantage of a Baltimore offense that ranks 31st in the NFL in turnover rate.
Chicago's defense has difficulty containing the run (137.7 yards allowed), which is good news for Derrick Henry, who has 29 carries for 128 yards and one touchdown in two career games against Sunday's opponent. The Ravens' own defense is allowing the most points per game (32.3) and will go up against the offense with the NFL's best turnover differential.
