The Buffalo Bills do have some circumstances going against them in their upcoming Week 16 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.
It’s a game that’s on the road and across the country.
The Bills also played on Sunday afternoon. The Chargers have been off since last week’s Thursday Night Football matchup.
But the issues going down in Los Angeles appear to be too much for oddsmakers to consider making the spread anywhere close.
Buffalo has opened as an 11.5-point favorite over Los Angeles in Week 15, according to BetMGM.
While already a high number, it could continue to rise. Not only are the Bolts without starting quarterback Justin Herbert, L.A. just fired head coach Brandon Staley.
But perhaps Los Angeles can grab a “boost” that sometimes follows a coaching change? Or least in terms of the spread, can that help L.A. cover?
So far this season, it hasn’t looked good for the Chargers. They’re 4-9-1 ATS. Meanwhile, the Bills are 6-7-1 against the spread and have covered in their past two games.
In terms of the over/under, which is set at 42.5, both teams are 4-10 overall this year.
The moneyline sits at Bills (-800) and Chargers (+550).
