Jon Hoefling: Chicago Bears (+6.5)
Obviously, this all comes down to the return of Lamar Jackson. He’s likely to come back, but even then, the Ravens’ defense has been atrocious, and with Kyle Monangai really starting to find a groove against New Orleans last week, the Bears seem to have more momentum going into this contest.
Jordan Mendoza: Chicago Bears (+6.5)
Baltimore is hoping Lamar Jackson can return, but will it be enough to turn the season around? The Bears have looked solid and should be able to at least keep this game close.
Tyler Dragon: Baltimore Ravens (-6.5)
Is Lamar Jackson going to return this week? This is a must-win game for the Ravens regardless of who plays.
Lorenzo Reyes: Chicago Bears (+6.5)
This is all going to come down to the status of Lamar Jackson. I wouldn’t touch this until we get more clearance later in the week about his availability. That said, if you feel good about the Bears, as I do, jumping on this line sooner rather than later could be a sound strategy if Jackson isn’t able to suit up.
Richard Morin: Chicago Bears (+6.5)
The Chicago offense is no slouch. Even if Lamar Jackson returns, I like the chances of this being a close game.
Christopher Bumbaca: Chicago Bears (+6.5)
The Bears should be able to run the ball and keep it close. Lamar Jackson’s potential return could make it interesting though.
