Under Brandon Staley, the Chargers have gone 7-1 SU (+7.1 units, 88.8% ROI) coming off an upset loss as a favorite. Interestingly, that one loss came last week at the Titans since Los Angeles lost to the Dolphins as a favorite in Week 1.
Per Doug Clawson on X, the Chargers are the 33rd team in the Super Bowl Era (since 1966) with 50+ points and zero turnovers through two games. However, they are the only team to start 0-2. Brutal. However, this is a sign that some positive regression should be coming LA’s way. While Austin Ekeler’s injury certainly matters and hurts them, Justin Herbert has Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, Quinton Johnson, Josh Palmer, Gerald Everett and more in the passing game and this Chargers defense should be able to shut down a horrenous Vikings rushing offense.
Overall, I think the Chargers are a much better team than the Vikings and you can get them at -106 right now at FanDuel!
