Bills vs Chargers Betting Prediction

Buffalo comes into this game after two great wins against Dallas and Kansas City and should have no problems winning this game. The Bills are only 2-4 on the road this year, but the Chargers are a disaster right now. Los Angeles lost to the Raiders by a score of 63-21 last week and fired their coach after that performance. Los Angeles has lost five of their last six games and that isn’t going to change here. I know this is a big spread, but I think the only play here is taking the Bills to win by a couple of scores.
