The Cleveland Browns (3-1) are riding a three-game win streak as they head west in Week 5 to visit the Los Angeles Chargers (3-1). Kickoff is set for 4:05 p.m. ET Sunday at SoFi Stadium. Below, we look at the Browns vs. Chargers odds and lines; check back for our NFL picks and predictions.
Since their opening-week loss at the Kansas City Chiefs, the Browns have reeled off wins over the Houston Texans (31-21), Chicago Bears (26-6) and Minnesota Vikings (14-7).
Cleveland has done so on the backs of the league’s top-ranked rushing attack (177.0 yards per game) – featuring RBs Nick Chubb (362 yards, 3 TD) and Kareem Hunt (234, 3 TD) – and a DE Myles Garrett-led defense which ranks in the top four in points (16.8) and yards (250.3) allowed per game and total sacks (14).
The Chargers, meanwhile, have notched two straight impressive AFC West victories, winning 30-24 on the road at Kansas City and knocking off the previously unbeaten Las Vegas Raiders 28-14 Monday. QB Justin Herbert (9 TD, 3 INT) and running back Austin Ekeler (424 yards from scrimmage, 4 total TD) lead a potent offense while the Bolts rank seventh with 18.5 points allowed per contest.
