Chargers vs Dolphins Predictions and Picks
Los Angeles is currently ranked 10th in passing yards, tied for 14th in rushing yards, 25th in points scored, and tied for sixth in points conceded. During this brief skid, the Chargers have been accumulating penalties, and the offense has been hit hard by injuries, particularly in the offensive line. Also, the running back depth has been getting thin as well. Herbert has been feeling the pressure and has been sacked the second-most in the NFL. At least the pass defense is ranked fourth, and a bit of a bright spot for the team. The Chargers will look for a consistent offense and add to their lead.
Miami is ranked 21st in passing yards, 30th in rushing yards, 21st in points scored, and 27th in points allowed. The Dolphins have the worst run defense in the league, but at least the Chargers' rushing game has been trending down. Miami's offense has been inconsistent, and the production has taken a hit ever since Tyreek Hill went down. The key offensive player in this game will be tight end Darren Waller, who had a big Week 5, with five catches for 78 yards and a touchdown.
Best Bet: Over
The Chargers are good at bouncing back after bad losses, and the offense definitely wants to get things going again. Herbert will look to attack the Dolphins' secondary, and the running game will still try to be a little productive. The Dolphins' offensive line has been great at protecting Tua, and he will look to make some big throws and get some runs in when needed.
