LA Chargers vs Arizona Cardinals Prediction
The Los Angeles Chargers are coming off a nice road win over the Broncos and have now covered 7 of their last 10 games as a favorite. The Arizona Cardinals have been competitive this season and have the ability for an upset or two, but I don’t trust their defense, that’s 27th in total defense and 27th in scoring defense. Herbert and company should feast in this contest. This has a chance to be a high-scoring scoring, entertaining game, but I trust the Chargers to get more timely steps to pull away with the victory. I’ll lay the small number with the Chargers.
