This is a matchup where each team's offensive strength fits the opposing team's defensive weakness. Factor in tempo and that Jerome Boger's crew will be the officials and you have a strong Over the total play.

Justin Herbert has a healthy wide receiving group. The Eagles aren't deep in the secondary. Austin Ekeler is one of the better all-purpose running backs in the NFL. He has more than 300 receiving yards and averages 5.0 yards a run. The Chargers rank No. 2 in the NFL in tempo.

The Eagles ran for 236 yards against the Lions last week showing they have the running back depth to mitigate the loss of Miles Sanders. The Chargers are last in run defense giving up nearly 160 yards on the ground per game. Jalen Hurts is a dual threat QB and the Chargers have a cluster injury problem at cornerback with Asante Samuel and Michael Davis both out. So Hurts is in a great spot to succeed.

The Eagles play at the sixth-fastest pace.

The Over has cashed in better than 60 percent of Boger's lifetime games. That's a legitimate statistical number, too, because no other officiating crew calls so many defensive holding calls. It's a great break for Herbert to draw Boger and his flag wavers.
