I'm backing the Chargers on Sunday Night Football!

Justin Herbert was extremely efficient last week, averaging 9.1 yards per attempt with a season-high QBR of 84.8. He will face a Cincinnati defense that allowed 290 passing yards last week and is ranked 26th in defensive dropback EPA. Los Angeles was 8 for 11 inside the red zone in the last three games, scoring 26 points, 27 points and 27 points. Cincinnati has allowed a combined 96 points over the past three games and should struggle against an LA offense that's humming and healthy again at the skill positions.

The Chargers boast the number one scoring defense, ranking third in red-zone conversion rate. It's also third in adjusted net yards per pass attempt against, which measures yards per attempt and additional factors including interceptions, sacks and yardage lost due to sacks. Jim Harbaugh's defensive-minded squad can bottle up Joe Burrow just enough to win straight-up on Sunday night!
