Betting on the Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers begin a two-game on the road series this Sunday, looking to stay in contention for one of the AFC wild card spots, a battle in which they lost ground after their loss to the powerful Chiefs.
The Los Angeles team came within two minutes of pulling off the upset, but the defense couldn’t hold the lead, allowing Patrick Mahomes one last offensive scoring series. They conceded 485 total yards and are the seventh-highest receiving team with 258. In addition, they concede an average of 6.0 yards per game, the second highest amount in the league, and no one allows more yards per carry than they do, by averaging 5.5.
On the offensive side Justin Herbert has tried to do his best accompanied by a line that protects him in a great way. However, the 12 turnovers have cost the Chargers many games this year, including two crucial ones against the Chiefs. While through the air they are the sixth team to accumulate the most yards with 2,638, they have failed to establish the ground game, by having the third worst yards per carry average with just 3.7.
Betting on Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals’ hopes suffered a major setback on Monday, after they were defeated by the 49ers, and after they moved significantly out of the wild card spots in the NFC.
The absence of Kyler Murray due to injury, which could be extended to this week as well, has been a major blow to a Cardinals offense that could only score 10 points against San Francisco’s solid defense. Yes, the Chargers’ defense is far from the one of the 49ers, but Arizona is tied for the second lowest yards per play average at just 4.8. They are also last, along with the Bears and the Steelers, in net yards per pass with 5.2, and they have done the second most offensive penalties with 79.
On the defensive side, things don’t get any better. After last week’s game, the Cardinals have allowed the most points in the league this year with 296. They tie in sixth place for most yards per play with 5.8, the 21 TDs through the air conceded are the second highest amount in the league, and in the red zone they are a real disaster; they are the team that has allowed the most visits, with 42, and the team that has received the most TDs, with 29.
JefeBet Prediction
The absence of Kyler Murray and the Cardinals’ disastrous defensive performance don’t give much room for error in this game. The Chargers have a better team, despite having several injuries, and should have no problems in winning again despite playing as visitors.
Likewise, Arizona does not use its local status as a strength, as it has a 1-4 record this campaign. In the last five meetings between the two teams, Los Angeles has a 4-1 record playing against the spread.
Prediction: Chargers Spread (LA 27 – ARI 20).
