Los Angeles Chargers vs. Seattle Seahawks Prediction

I’m on the Seahawks in this one. I get the case to be made for either side in this game as the Chargers are in desperation mode for a win with a gauntlet of games ahead, but the problem is that they’re just not playing well and keep finding new and creative ways to lose football games. The Chargers forced 5 turnovers against the Bills and still couldn’t do enough to get the win in the end. I think the Seahawks smack the Chargers around and get the bounce back win and cover so give me Seattle here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Seattle -7
