Khalil Mack (groin) said he expects to play Monday night vs. Ravens. "I'm not practicing for nothing," he said.

Mack said he was "pretty close" to playing last week but "just didn't want another setback like the week before."

This is great news for a Chargers defense that already ranks No. 1 in the NFL in points allowed so far this season.

Mack was injured in Week 10, playing just four snaps against the Tennessee Titans, and he missed Week 11 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

On the season, the star pass rusher has 26 tackles, five tackles for loss, and 4.5 sacks. He also has forced two fumbles and recovered one, returning it for 22 yards. 

The Chargers are 2.5-point underdogs to Baltimore on Sunday, and the Ravens have a team total of 26.5 points on Monday. The Chargers have yet to allow more than 20 points in a single game that Mack has played in this season, but they did give up 27 points to Cincinnati in Week 11.

If you think that the star pass rusher can have a major impact on Monday, the UNDER on the Ravens team total could be an interesting bet.
