Game: Cleveland Browns @ Los Angeles Chargers (currently at LAC -2)
TREND: Chargers ATS in the last 8 weeks
- ATS: 7-1 (88%) over the last 8 weeks
Cleveland comes into this game with their 3rd string left tackle and an abundance of other injuries, including a banged up Baker Mayfield. On the other hand, Brandon Staley has this Chargers team playing elite on both sides of the field. The defense is continuing to hound teams week in and week out, and Justin Herbert is quickly becoming a household name in the NFL.
Cleveland has impressed this year, but against weak competition and now with such a big injury report, expect Staley to slow down what could be a one-dimensional offense without Jarvis Landry. Justin Herbert should expose a below average secondary who is missing their 1st round rookie corner. This game will say a lot about who is a contender and who is a pretender in the AFC.
Pick: LAC -2 (-110)
