That line seems particularly low given San Diego's offense production the last two weeks, with Ryan Matthews rushing for over 100 yards in both games, isn't that the offense we expected from San Diego? I can't assume the Chargers will rush over 100 yards against the Ravens, but they will be utilizing Gates and going deep with Jackson.
Baltimore Ravens also can score and their new WR Torrey Smith has really helped out Boldin; dude has been blowing the top off defenses at times this year, *cough* Pittsburg.
Furthermore...
The last two times Baltimore came into San Diego the games easily went over 44 1/2. And not much of the San Diego offensive scheme has changed since then (32-14 SD in 07' that was with Kyle Boller as QB for Balt.... yeah), and (31-26 Balt in 09').
Looks like one of Baltimore's better CBs Lardarius Webb is injured with his toe (esp. that fact that it is a toe injury) he will not be 100%. And also Ray Lewis is questionable, this Ravens defense will be relatively slowed. That's not taking anything away from Ed Reed and the rest of the Baltimore defense, T-sizzle.
San Diego's offense is picking up some steam with Floyd, and Gates looking healthier and with Vincent Brown starting to have an impact on the field. The San Diego offense has averaged 37.5 points last two games, against horrible defenses nontheless, but getting better and scoring efficiently.
I'm feeling this over @ 44 1/2. Forsee a 47-49 game cumulatively.

The Ravens played well without Lewis,They won all four games he missed and that has put the team in the position they are in right now.But this is still a better football team with Lewis in the lineup.He gives them a truly elite presence in the middle on defense.There is a reason he is regarded as one of the greatest middle linebackers in NFL history.The Ravens were fortunate to win without him. Now, they will be much better for the final three games.The Ravens have won four in a row,and they have won their last three all by double digits.Their only losses are on the road this year,The road has been generally unkind to RB Ray Rice as well,and it seems as though the team goes with his success or failure. The back out of Rutgers only had one game with more than 50 yards on the ground before the game at the Cleveland Browns two weeks ago when he rumbled for a whopping 204 yards and a TD.He’s going against a rush defense that ranks No.24 in football this year,so he could be in for another big time day.After the game against the Chargers, the Ravens close with games against the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals.None of those games are overly easy,but Baltimore is better than all three opponents.The Ravens have a better pass defense, have a better run defense and can bring more pressure on opposing quarterbacks also a top of the solid play they are getting from their corners,The Ravens are also extremely good at getting to quarterbacks,they have 45 sacks on the season,and Terrell Suggs is playing the best football of his career with 13 sacks by himself.The Ravens defense is the key to the game versus the Chargers,and the Ravens should feel confident with how they match up against the Chargers.With a healthy lineup, the Ravens should have no problem winning out and securing the best record in the AFC.Ravens By 7 or more points.My Bet Ravens-1 1/2 [5Dimes Sport Book] 
The Ravens will bring pressure on Rivers I’m sure, but I’m concerned about how our DBs will matchup against the Chargers receivers,especially Gates and Jackson with their size.The Ravens will need to stick with what has been working on offense,and that’s feeding teams a healthy serving of Rice.If Flacco has to throw 40+ times,the Ravens will be in trouble. Another factor is the travel to the West Coast.The last trip cross-country the Ravens lost against the Seahawks in a game they should have easily won.
