Ravens Will Get Fraud Checked

Chargers +3 ½ alt line -158
Quentin Johnson TD +190
Summary
The Harbowl is finally here. This marks the first time the two brothers have faced each other since the Super Bowl, where John came out on top. However, I don’t see that happening this time. Both teams have some of the more efficient offenses in the league, but they rely heavily on their ground games. I expect it to be a fast-paced game with limited possessions for both sides. I think the under at 50.5 points is a reasonable bet, but given the efficiency of both offenses, I’ll stay away from that. I really like the Chargers in this matchup, though. I can see Justin Herbert having success against the Ravens' secondary, and I’m very interested in Quentin Johnston’s anytime touchdown odds as well. I might also consider betting on Herbert to have over 1.5 passing touchdowns at -110. The Moneyline is definitely tempting, but I’ll play it safe with the +3.5 spread.
Indiana Pacers -240, New Orleans Pelicans +203
Best Bets
Pacers -6 ½ -110
Tyrese Haliburton Over 31 ½ Points+Reb+Ast -110
Myles Turner Over 7.5 Rebounds -110
Trey Murphy Over 2 ½ Threes -125
Summary
I'm a bit confused by the line in this game, especially considering all the injuries both teams are dealing with. I really like the Pacers in this matchup, and I might even consider taking an alternate line of -9½ if you're feeling adventurous. However, I will definitely be taking them at -6½. Given how weak the Pacers' defense is, Trey Murphy should be able to get his shot off easily, so I like his over on 2½ three-pointers made. Defensively, I expect him to be matched up against Matherin instead of Haliburton when they are both on the court, which leads me to take the over on Haliburton's Total RPA. Lastly, I’m going with Myles Turner for the over on rebounds. He can be a bit frustrating, but I think getting 8 rebounds should be manageable for him in this game.
