The Baltimore Ravens will be without star quarterback Lamar Jackson when they welcome the Chicago Bears to M&T Bank Stadium in Week 8. Jackson was a full participant in practice on Friday with his hamstring injury, but listed as questionable to play. On Saturday, Baltimore officially ruled out the two-time NFL MVP for the third straight game. Tyler Huntley gets the start at quarterback over Cooper Rush. 

In their two games without Jackson, the Ravens were outscored 61-13. Overall, Baltimore (1-5) has lost four straight games, and a five-game losing streak would be the third-longest in franchise history.

The Bears, on the other hand, are riding a winning streak they'd very much like to keep intact. Chicago has won four straight after an 0-2 start, and a fifth straight win would tie their longest winning streak over the past decade. New coach Ben Johnson has revitalized the Caleb Williams-led offense, and the running game and defense have both improved as the season has gone on.

Ravens vs. Bears: Need to know

  • Caleb Williams looks to find a groove. Williams has improved in his second season, especially when it comes to avoiding negative plays, but he has plateaued amid the four-game winning streak. Over the past three games, Williams has just two touchdown passes compared to two interceptions, and he recorded a season-worst 61.7 passer rating against the Saints last week.

Ravens vs. Bears pick, prediction

The Ravens have lost four straight games, while the Bears have won four straight. Chicago is the only NFL team to score 21 points in every game this season, and also lead the NFL in takeaways (16) and turnover margin (+11). That's enough for me. Pick: Bears +2.5; Under 44.5
