Meanwhile, the Chargers are 3-1-1 ATS in their last five in Week 7 and 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 in October. The over is 9-2 in LA’s last 11 overall.
PICK: I might take a stab on Seattle. Probably staying away, though. The Seahawks were nothing if not offensively balanced in their latest win over the Cardinals, posting 160 pass yards and 136 rush yards along the way to 4.5 yards per play and 19 first downs. It wasn’t exactly the most inspiring offensive performance (Seattle had scored 23 or more in each of the previous three games) but it got the job done.
As for the Chargers, they had a sloppy game (19 total penalties) versus the Broncos Monday. Los Angeles did a solid job on defense and held the ball for 38:49 but still needed overtime to get the win. This might be another close one.
