Welcome to Week 2 of Lame Betting Rationale predictions.
But it worked last week.
Last week, the call was that Las Vegas was going to beat the Los Angeles Chargers … just because.
Some teams just don’t know how to win. Whether it’s luck, whether it’s an inability to make a big play, or whether it’s overall execution, or whether a team just doesn’t know how to win, the Chargers just can’t get anything to go their way.
They’re 2-6, and they could very, very, very easily have been closer to 6-2, including what appeared to be a game-winning touchdown pass on the final play against Las Vegas last week that was reviewed and reversed.
On the flip side, some teams just find ways to win. Whether it’s luck, whether it’s an ability to make a big play, or whether it’s overall execution, or whether a team just knows how to win, the Dolphins are winning everything lately.
The Miami offense isn’t anything special, the running game isn’t doing anything, and Tua Tagovailoa hasn’t gone off yet, but the team is on a four-game-winning streak and it’s somehow – takeaways have helped – coming up with victories.
Until this changes, and considering you’re only giving away 1.5 points, never mess with a streak.
