Both teams head into this tilt riding impressive win streaks. The Ravens earned their fourth straight victory with last week’s 23-7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars while the 49ers extended their winning streak to six games with a 45-29 blowout against the rival Arizona Cardinals.

There’s a decent chance that this won’t be the last time these juggernauts meet this season. BetOnline is currently favoring the Ravens to win the AFC Championship at +200 odds while the 49ers are the -200 favorites to claim the NFC Championship.

This potential Super Bowl LVIII preview also features plenty of betting opportunities, so let’s dive right into everything you need to know — including my Ravens vs 49ers predictions and best bets.

Ravens vs 49ers Prediction & Best Bet: NFL Week 16 MNF

Monday night’s matchup is a huge one as it features two teams who are elite on both sides of the ball. The 49ers rank third and second, respectively, when it comes to scoring offense and defense while the Ravens sit fourth and first in those regards.

Additionally, San Francisco outscores its opponents by 13.6 points per game (1st) while Baltimore boasts a plus-11.4 average scoring margin (3rd).

Not only that, but this game is ripe with NFL MVP candidates. When it comes to the 49ers, QB Brock Purdy leads the race on BetOnline at -190 odds while RB Christian McCaffrey ranks third at +675. As for the Ravens, QB Lamar Jackson is right in between the aforementioned duo at +400.

Having said that, the recent battles between these franchises tend to lean in one direction. The Ravens have emerged victorious in five of their last six games against the 49ers, most recently notching a 20-17 victory back in December 2019.

At the same time, Baltimore hasn’t beaten San Francisco on the road in a non-Super Bowl game since 2007. It’s going to be hard to buck that trend given that the 49ers have been close to flawless as the home team this season, going 5-1 SU (3-3 ATS) with a plus-13.3 average scoring margin (5th) at Levi’s Stadium.

While the Ravens have only lost once in seven road games thus far, they’ve only covered the spread four times in their last five away contests against the 49ers.

While I expect an extremely competitive game this weekend, I’m taking the 49ers to win. The Ravens are great, but the Niners consistently step up against top-tier teams. Baltimore defeated the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles by an average of 27.5 points and while I’m not saying the victory will be that decisive on Christmas, it shows that the 49ers are legit.

With that in mind, I’m also inclined to back the home team on the spread. The 49ers have more than enough talent to win this game by a touchdown, especially after going 4-1 ATS in their last five home games against the Ravens.

Considering how only one of six visiting teams scored more than 16 points on the 49ers at Levi’s Stadium this year, I’m confident in their ability to cover again.

Best Ravens vs 49ers Player Prop — Christmas Day

Ravens vs. 49ers player props aren’t available at the time of writing, but I still have my eyes set on a Christian McCaffrey anytime touchdown.

Although the odds won’t be anything crazy, it’s hard to bet against a CMC touchdown. McCaffrey leads the NFL with 20 total TDs this season, having found the end zone in all but one of his outings so far. He’s hit paydirt in each of his last eight games, racking up 13 touchdowns over that stretch.

While the Ravens have only surrendered five TDs to running backs all season, McCaffrey isn’t your ordinary rusher. He consistently steps up on football’s biggest stages and he’ll find a way to make some more magic happen on Christmas Day.

Best Ravens vs 49ers Player Prop: Christian McCaffrey Anytime TD (TBD)
