Struggling squads San Diego Chargers (2-5) and Baltimore Ravens (1-6) will face each other for a 2015 NFL season Week 8 encounter at the M&T Bank Stadium on November 1, Sunday as both teams try to bounce back from their Week 7 losses.
The Chargers have lost three straight games since their Week 4 home win versus Cleveland to put them at the bottom of the AFC West with Kansas City.
Their last match was a 37-29 beating in the hands of the Oakland Raiders right at their home turf of Qualcomm Stadium on Sunday, as per USA Today.
Meanwhile, the Ravens are also on a three-game losing skid, with their last defeat suffered against the Arizona Cardinals at the University of Phoenix Stadium last Monday night, via SB Nation.
Playing at home this time around, Baltimore John Harbaugh hopes that they can snag a win against the reeling Chargers to slightly increase their chance of landing a playoff spot, which is very unlikely at this point.
The Ravens always play better at home and they are going to use the inspiration from their home crowd to pull off a mild upset.
Prediction: Ravens win, 14-10.
