Tennessee Titans vs Los Angeles Chargers Betting Picks & Predictions

Game outlook

Tennessee is on the road playing Los Angeles at the SoFi Stadium stadium on Sunday, 12/18/2022 @ 4:25pm EST. Los Angeles -1.5 was the opening favorite and current line is Los Angeles -3.

I was impressed with how the Chargers played last week, especially defensively, against a Dolphins team that has all the talent in the world. The Boltz looked good on both sides of the ball. However, I think Brandon Staley deserves a lot of the credit for how his team out-schemed Mike McDaniel despite being short-handed with their personnel, especially in the secondary without Derwin James. Miami likes to take shots deep middle, but the Chargers did a nice job with outside leverage and forced Tua to make accurate throws outside the hashmarks, which he was unable to do. The Dolphins abandoned the run for most of the game, but even when they tried, they weren’t very effective, with Raheem Mostert being held to 3.4 yards per carry. Tua broke off a couple of nice ones on broken plays, but overall they had just a 31% success rate on running plays.

In steps Derrick Henry and a Titans offense desperate to break out after 3 turnovers against the Jaguars on Sunday. Ryan Tannehill was responsible for 2 by himself (1 INT, 1 fumble), and I expect a much better game from him against a very undermanned Chargers front 7.
