Eagles vs. Chargers Pick
Eagles vs. Chargers Moneyline Pick
- Chargers +125 (4 units)
Philadelphia has dropped two straight and their offense leaves plenty to be desired at this stage of the year. The run game has sputtered as Barkley has just 740 yards after picking up more than 2,000 last year in the regular season. Carter's injury is also a big one for the Eagles because he was key to their run defense. They allowed 281 yards to the Bears on the ground last week, as Carter has struggled with shoulder injury issues all season and finally has decided to get treatment to prepare for the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Philly passing game has failed to set the world on fire, and the Eagles will have their work cut out trying to guard all the options the Chargers have in the passing attack. Herbert is a question mark but expects to play here. The Chargers are a solid 5-2 at home on the year and they are getting healthy. Meanwhile, the Eagles are minus key pieces in both trenches. Take the Bolts here at home.
Eagles vs. Chargers Over/Under Pick
- Under 42.5 (4 units)
Philadelphia has stayed under the number in seven of their 12 games in relation to the total this season. The Eagles have split their six road games on the year in relation to the total, though they have stayed under the total in each of their last two as the visiting team and their last four overall. Los Angeles has split their 12 games in relation to the total this season. The Chargers split their six home games in relation to the total, though they have gone over the number in four of their last six games overall. With the Eagles struggling offensively and with Herbert's injury, lean toward the under in this contest.
