The San Diego Chargers and the Atlanta Falcons will both be trying to pick up a win on Sunday when they battle at Georgia Dome.
Oddsmakers currently have the Falcons listed as 6-point favorites versus the Chargers, while the game’s total is sitting at 50½.
Atlanta boasts the league’s top offense, averaging 441.5 total yards and 33.2 points, but has failed to hit either mark in the last two games. Ryan and Julio Jones have developed into the league’s most prolific passing duo, but it was a drop by Jones that resulted in the game-turning interception against the Seahawks. The Falcons have been tough on the run, but the young secondary has faced rough patches and will have a difficult assignment versus Rivers and the Chargers. The Falcons were a 26-24 loser in their most recent outing on the road against the Seahawks. They covered the +6.5-point spread as underdogs, while the total score (50) made winners of OVER bettors.
Team record: 4-2 SU,5-1 ATS
Atlanta is 5-0 ATS in its last 5 games
Atlanta is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games
The total has gone OVER in 5 of Atlanta’s last 6 games
Despite numerous injuries, San Diego has the league’s No. 3 scoring offense largely on the strength of Rivers and the passing game. Turnovers are a concern, though, as the Chargers have 13 giveaways – including an NFL-high 10 lost fumbles – and have committed at least two turnovers in four straight games. The defense struggled early in the season but was stout against Denver and has yet to allow 100 yards rushing in a contest. The Chargers were a 21-13 winner in their most recent outing at home against the Broncos. They covered the +3-point spread as underdogs, while the total score (34) made winners of UNDER bettors.
Team record: 2-4 SU,4-2 ATS
San Diego is 8-2 ATS in its last 10 games
San Diego is 4-14 SU in its last 18 games
The total has gone OVER in 5 of San Diego’s last 7 games
