The Ravens&#8217; recent struggles make it easy to forget just how stacked this unit is at full power, and all that talent could spell trouble for Williams. <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/players\/2871710\/dandre-swift\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">D&#8217;Andre Swift<\/a> is questionable, and a potential absence would put even more pressure on Williams to chuck the ball downfield &#8212; and allow Baltimore to focus more on defending the pass. The SportsLine model forecasts 188.9 passing yards for Williams.<\/p>\n<p>Lamar Jackson Over 5.5 carries<\/p>\n<p>Jackson should be back for this one, and with the Ravens&#8217; dire need to start tallying wins, one imagines he&#8217;ll use every weapon at his disposal &#8212; including his legs. That&#8217;s a particularly tantalizing prospect against Chicago, which has allowed 137.7 rushing yards per game, the fifth worst mark in the league. Jackson should be licking his chops. The model projects 7.5 carries for Jackson.<\/p>\n<p>Colston Loveland anytime touchdown scorer<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/players\/2868619\/cole-kmet\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cole Kmet<\/a> is out for this game, which should move Loveland into the lineup. The rookie out of Michigan hasn&#8217;t made much of an impact yet, but the Bears spent the 10th overall pick on him, so they clearly see something here &#8212; or at least they did at one point. Without Kmet taking reps ahead of him, we like Loveland as a dart throw pick. If the rookie is going to step up for the Bears, now&#8217;s the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Imagn Images It&#8217;s been nothing short of a disastrous season for the Baltimore Ravens, who are 1-5 and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":241956,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,631,144383,144380,144381,144382,144385,1268,129429,1248,19990,5365,144386,73463,143726,628,94724,593,32042,32044,142236,1241,144384,85],"class_list":["post-241955","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-baltimore-ravens","tag-bears-props","tag-bears-ravens-picks","tag-bears-ravens-prediction","tag-bears-ravens-props","tag-best-nfl-props","tag-caleb-williams","tag-caleb-williams-props","tag-chicago-bears","tag-cole-kmet","tag-colston-loveland","tag-colston-loveland-props","tag-dandre-swift","tag-is-lamar-jackson-playing","tag-lamar-jackson","tag-lamar-jackson-props","tag-nfl","tag-nfl-betting","tag-nfl-gambling","tag-nfl-week-8-odds","tag-pittsburgh-steelers","tag-ravens-props","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241955","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=241955"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241955\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/241956"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=241955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=241955"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=241955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
