Colts vs. Chargers: The matchup
The Chargers enter their Week 7 showdown with the Colts as narrow betting favorites (-2.5) after snapping a two-game losing streak with a 29-27 victory over the Miami Dolphins last weekend. Los Angeles has shown little to no flash and continues to work through significant injury issues while keeping its ship afloat with solid, if unspectacular, work on both sides of the ball. Herbert and the Bolts offense rank No. 7 in the NFL in total yardage (360.7 ypg), No. 10 in passing (240.0 ypg) and No. 13 in rushing (120.7 ypg), while the defense is seventh in the league allowing 301.7 yards per game.
As heartwarming as Colts quarterback Daniel Jones’ redemption story is, Indianapolis is 5-1 through six games with the help of a high-level defense. Thus far, the Colts lead the league in scoring (32.3 ppg) but also sit fourth in scoring defense (19.3 ppg) to pace the NFL in scoring differential (plus-78) by a sizable margin. After suffering their first loss in Week 4 to the Los Angeles Rams (27-20), the Colts have won two straight over the Las Vegas Raiders (40-6) and Arizona Cardinals (31-27).
