Key Details
Philadelphia Eagles
After a rough Thanksgiving weekend, the Philadelphia Eagles are coming off a brutal loss to the Bears, and while they face an inconsistent Chargers team, they could struggle. The Eagles’ offense has been ineffective during their losing stretch, with poor game planning from the coaching staff running an RPO shotgun-heavy system, and the players executing it. Monday night could be another breaking point for the Eagles, given the offense’s lack of sync and the chaos in the locker room.
Los Angeles Chargers
The Los Angeles Chargers, coming into Monday, are heading home with injuries to Justin Herbert after the dominating win against the Raiders last week. While the injury is day-to-day, this could impact the Chargers’ offense, especially with the injuries on the offensive line. The Chargers also have a strong advantage over the Eagles due to winning five of six, and could carry the momentum back to SoFi on prime-time television. While the Chargers’ flaws are mostly due to injuries, they could have a chance against a dysfunctional Eagles team.
Prediction
Final Pick
With both teams having crucial flaws that could be their downfall on Monday night, the Chargers and their offense, with a hopefully healthy Herbert, could overtake the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night at SoFi. With the Eagles being chaos, along with underachieving from the offense, especially from Saquon Barkley and AJ Brown, bettors should take a risk and go with the Chargers, even if the Eagles’ defense is having another strong season.
