Will the Chargers Come Through as Road Favorites?

The season began with the Chargers hosting the Dolphins, but unfortunately, they fell to 0-1 after losing by a score of 36-34. In addition to their defeat in the game, the Chargers also fell short of covering the spread as 3-point favorites.

Versus the Dolphins, the Chargers turned to the run 40 times, and it was Austin Ekeler who led the way with 117 yards. Meanwhile, Justin Herbert finished with 33 pass attempts, resulting in 229 yards and a passer rating of 99.

On the defensive front, the Chargers allowed 536 yards of total offense to Miami. Of these yards, 70 were gained on the ground, while the team’s secondary allowed 466 yards on 45 attempts.

Can Tennessee Grab a Win at Home?

In their season opener, the Titans had an away game against the Saints, resulting in a 16-15 loss. They begin week two with a 0-1 record. In spite of losing to New Orleans, the Titans did cover the spread as 2.5-point underdogs in the game.

Offensively, Ryan Tannehill finished with 198 passing yards while completing 47% of his passes. On the ground, the Titans ran the ball 22 times for 104 yards. The team went 2/12 on third down.

The Titans’ defense concluded the game with four sacks and three interceptions. The team’s secondary conceded 282 passing yards, while their rush defense gave up 69 rushing yards.

Titans vs. Chargers Player Prop

As Justin Herbert gets ready to take on Tennessee, his passing yards prop is at 279.5. Right now, the payout for surpassing this figure is -116, as opposed to -116 for staying below it.

Herbert comes into this game ranked 11th among quarterbacks in passing attempts. Thus far, he has thrown for 229 yards with a completion rate of 69.7%. Considering that the Titans defense has struggled in stopping third downs so far, I anticipate this trend to continue, and I like the over on Herbert’s passing yards prop at 279.5 yards.

The Prop: Justin Herbert Over 279.5 Passing Yards (-116)

Titans vs. Chargers Predictions

Both of these teams lost close, tough games in Week 1. The Chargers got into a shootout with the Dolphins, and the Titans couldn’t pull out a victory in a defensive struggle with the Saints. So what’s on tap for this Week 2 matchup in Nashville?

As mentioned earlier, the Tennessee pass defense was a liability last season, particularly on third down. Life could be difficult for the Titans with a savvy quarterback like Herbert able to expose that vulnerability.

Looking at the betting splits, it appears the public and sharps are aligned on the Chargers -3, as 76% of the betting handle and 68% of the betting tickets are going in that direction.

Let’s take the Chargers to outscore a Titans offense that will have a tough time putting enough points on the board.
