St. Louis Rams at San Diego Chargers
Time: 4:05 PM (ET) on FOX
Favorite: San Diego (open: 6.5 / current: 6.2 | over/under: 44.5)
Disregard the St. Louis Rams 4-6 record this afternoon, and you have one of the best match-ups to check for this weekend. So far this season, they’ve had impressive wins over the Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos in the span of the last 5 weeks. Today, they travel to Qualcomm Stadium for a huge inter-conference meeting against the surging San Diego Chargers.
Following the Kansas City Chiefs upset victory last Thursday to the Oakland Raiders winning their first game of the season, San Diego has a chance to even division standings. The Rams defense has really seen a huge surge in the later stages of the season, which has shown in the previously mentioned victories. Surprisingly, we’re picking the Rams this weekend due to their ability to pass rush and Phillip Rivers dealing with injuries. Speaking of which, the Chargers have a lack of running game in comparison to Tre Mason having a breakout year this season thus far.
