Bills vs Chargers Prediction

The Chargers have been the most disappointing team in the league through two games, as there’s great talent on both sides of the ball, and they lost twice at home as big favorites. It’s to the point where the Chargers have to consider making changes. I highly doubt a trip across the country to play this hot Bills team flips the switch. The defense can’t get off the field, and Herbert looks broken under new OC Mike McDaniel. I expect a double-digit win from the Bills, as these Chargers are in awful form out of the gate, and it’s a shame because this is a Super Bowl contender if things were clicking.
