The NFL has once again decided to hold a doubleheader on Monday night. One will be on ESPN and ABC, while the other will only be streamed to those who have subscribed to ESPN+. The first of two games features the Baltimore Ravens, who will travel this week to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 4 and 2 Ravens sit in 2nd place in the AFC North and are coming off a 30 to 23 victory last weekend over the Washington Commanders. The Buccaneers are also 4 and 2 and currently hole first place in the NFC South. The Bucs are fresh off a blowout win over the New Orleans Saints, 51 to 27.
This evening, the second of two games features the Los Angeles Chargers, who will travel to take on the Arizona Cardinals. This is the game that will only be streamed via ESPN+. The 3 and 2 Chargers are currently in 2nd place in the AFC West. The Chargers are coming off a win last weekend over the Denver Broncos, 23 to 16. Arizona, at 2 and 4, is currently in 3rd place in the NFC West. The Cardinals lost their game last weekend, in a blowout, against the Green Bay Packers, 34 to 13.

Baltimore Ravens (4-2) 2nd AFC North @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-2) 1st NFC South
- Kickoff: 8:15 p.m. EST, Monday, October 21st
- Location: Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, Florida
- TV Broadcast: ESPN; ABC
- FANDUEL Sportsbook betting Odds: Ravens -3.5; Point total: 49.5; Moneyline: Ravens -190 | Buccaneers +160
—My Pick: The Ravens to cover. The Ravens have won four straight, while the Bucs have been up and down to this point this season. Additionally, the Ravens, specifically Lamar Jackson, has owned NFC teams during his career, going an amazing 22 and 1. Jackson will again be the X factor in this game. Despite the Buc’s fairly solid run defense, they will be no match for the Raven top-ranked run offense this evening.
Los Angeles Chargers (3-2) 2nd AFC West @ Arizona Cardinals (2-4) 3rd NFC West
- Kickoff: 9:00 p.m. EST, Monday, October 21st
- Location: State Farm Stadium, Glendale, Arizona
- Streaming: ESPN+
- FANDUEL Sportsbook betting Odds: Chargers -1.5; Point total: 44.5; Moneyline: Chargers -118 | Cardinals +100
—My Pick: Chargers to cover. This is an intradivisional game so anything can happen, but the Cardinals have struggled at times to score many points while the Chargers are ranked first in the NFL in opponents points scored against. The rest of the stats for this game pit strength against strength, with the scales tipping towards LA. The game should still be close, with the Chargers winning by at least 2 or 3 points.
