Pick
Both of these teams are sitting below .500 currently and they have been disappointing this season. The Chargers had a great chance to get their third win in a row last week, but their defense played horribly against Detroit. The good news for LA is that Green Bay’s offense is not good and Jordan Love is nowhere close to Jared Goff, but it is never easy to win in Green Bay. The Chargers have the much better offense in this matchup and I don’t think the Packers offense is good enough to take advantage of a below average LA defense. Take the Chargers on the road in this game.
