AI GeneratedThe speakers discuss the upcoming game between the Chargers and the Rams, predicting a turnaround for the Chargers following their bye week. Despite a poor start to the season, the analysts believe the team's talent and defensive capabilities will lead to better performance and better betting value moving forward.
We've got the Chargers coming out of a bye week here.
Very proud organization with a lot more talent.
And the defense has been actually pretty good of the Chargers here.
So an extra week to kind of try
and right the ship here and work on some things.
And nobody wants to go winless.
This is a dangerous spot.
I will still say it for the Rams in this one here.
Don't know.
That they'll win outright,
but I do think you'll see a better Chargers team
than what we have seen previously in the six games.
Yeah, I agree.
I think the Chargers, as we talked about yesterday,
will probably, in the end, be one of the best betting teams
in the NFL from now forward.
These things normalize.
The only exception would be is if they pull a Colts
and all of a sudden decide to throw in the towel.
I don't sense that going on with the Chargers.
I think that they probably look at it and say,
you know, some variance here with some of our games,
some games we gave away, some games that got out of hand early.
You know, they have a really good running back in Omari and Hampton.
I know fans there are saying,
why doesn't this guy get the ball like a workhorse?
25, 30 times a game.
McDaniel's been going to a lot of different guys there,
which is sort of what he did in Miami.
But Miami never really had a Hampton.
A-chain was good, but this kid has a chance to be special.
Still no talent on the outside offense for the first time probably
in a decade for Justin Herbert, so it's not on him.
But the Chargers are not going to have...
People are looking at me right now going,
what is he, crazy?
The Chargers are not going to really have to do much
to cover spreads the rest of the year.
They're going to be 7 and 10 and 12 and 11 and 9.
So, you know, not my favorite pick of the week,
but I am with you.
I think if I had to pick one side here,
it definitely would be the Chargers.
And I expect them to start playing much better.
If you just closed your eyes and forgot about
what you saw at the beginning of the season
and blind bet the Chargers,
Now through week 17, I'm going to guess you'd win more than you lose.
