Chargers at Eagles odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Eagles 30, Chargers 26
Money line
The Eagles somehow have not won yet at home this season, while the Chargers are 2-1 on the road this season.
The Eagles will present a challenge to the Chargers’ defense because they rely on their rushing attack. Los Angeles is dead last in rush defense, allowing 159.6 rushing yards per game.
Plus, the Chargers will be missing a pair of cornerbacks, making them susceptible to the pass, even though the Eagles have the sixth-worst passing attack in the league.
The Chargers’ absences on defense will be the difference.
Take the underdog EAGLES (+100).
Against the spread
The Chargers are 4-3 ATS this season and the Eagles are 4-4 ATS.
The Chargers have not covered the spread in their last two games. The Eagles have covered the spread in three of their last four games.
Expecting the Eagles to win this game outright, I also take them to cover.
Take the EAGLES +1.5 (-108).
Over/Under
The Eagles’ last two games and four games of their last six have gone Over the projected total.
For the Chargers, only two games this season have hit the Over, but those two came in the last three weeks.
I expect a high-scoring affair Sunday. Take OVER 48.5 (-115).
