The New York Giants pretty much watched their season come to an end last week, so it wouldn’t be shocking to see them fall on their face here. However, the Los Angeles Chargers have been inconsistent as all hell all season, and it’s hard to trust them with big numbers. In fact, the Chargers haven’t won back-to-back games since week 4 and 5. This could also be a bit of a trap game for the Chargers after their win over the Bengals and the Chiefs next week. Let’s also not look over a bunch of New Yorkers in California, so this is pretty much a Giants home game. Don’t love it, but give me the points.
