Key Details
Los Angeles Chargers
The Los Angeles Chargers are having a solid season, despite the injuries in the offensive line, along with other injuries. Los Angeles and their offense have been a solid unit, scoring 22 points per game, but struggled due to injuries. Star quarterback Justin Herbert has been getting sacked a lot due to offensive line injuries and could struggle unless his receivers can beat a weak secondary.Â
Along with the offense, the Chargers’ defense has been a solid unit, allowing 20 points per game, with a strong secondary and pass rush. For the Chargers to win, they need to pressure the Cowboys’ run game and crush them like in their win against the Chiefs.
Dallas Cowboys
With their season on the knife’s edge, the Dallas Cowboys are equipped to win this game, but it might not be their game. Dallas has a strong offense with Dak Prescott leading the charge, with CeeDee Lamb having another solid season before injuries.
Dallas has a weakness with their defense, taking a step back with allowing 120 rushing yards and 30 points per game. The Cowboys have been having an inconsistent season, and could cost bettors money in this week’s game.
Prediction
With the NFL season nearly over, this Sunday’s game for bettors should have the Los Angeles Chargers winning with the cover against the Cowboys. Dallas is walking back home wounded after two crushing losses and could face another brutal loss on Sunday. The Chargers are coming off their best win of the season, eliminating their rivals, and Sunday could have them get closer to clinching a playoff spot against Dallas to end their season with a bang.Â
