Cowboys at Chargers picks and predictions
Prediction
Chargers 28, Cowboys 27
Moneyline
BET CHARGERS (+105).
The Chargers were 5-3 at home last season while the Cowboys were 5-5 on the road. LA is 1-1 at home, but lost 36-34 in a shootout in Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins. It has played well this season and will be taking on a defense that has given up 28 or more points in 2 of its last 3 games.
The Cowboys have struggled on defense and will be taking on a potent Herbert-led attack. The Cowboys haven’t played many quality QBs. They beat the New York Jets led by Zach Wilson, the New York Giants led by Daniel Jones, and the New England Patriots led by Mac Jones. None of that has been too impressive.
Expect the Cowboys’ defense to continue to struggle and back the CHARGERS (+105) to come out on top at home.
Against the spread
PASS.
The Cowboys haven’t beaten a team .500 or better and will struggle, so avoid the spread play on either side and back the Chargers on the ML. Dallas’ lone game against a team over .500 was a 42-10 loss against the 49ers.
Over/Under
BET OVER 51 (-110).
The Cowboys are 3-2 O/U this season and have gone north of the projected total in 3 of their last 4 games. The Chargers are 2-2 O/U and have scored at least 24 points in each battle.
Both teams have dynamic QBs and lacking defenses which should be a recipe for a fast-paced, high-scoring game. Take OVER 51 (-110).
