The San Francisco 49ers should be the favorite at home as they’re the more balanced team, and they’ve had an extra week to prepare for this game. However, this line feels a bit thick for a Los Angeles Chargers club that can be explosive offensively and has won 3 straight road games. The Chargers have their flaws, mainly with turnovers and a defense that’s 30th in scoring, but there’s talent, and they’re capable of beating anyone on any given day. I’ll take a shot with the free points.
