How it plays out

Arizona Cardinals vs Los Angeles Chargers is an inter-conference matchup: the NFC Cardinals hosting the AFC Chargers. Los Angeles Chargers are favored at 60% (LAC -1.5), yet Arizona Cardinals's 40% says this is no walkover.

Tactically, Arizona Cardinals will want to lean on star young WR to attack Los Angeles Chargers, whose aging edges is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Los Angeles Chargers's elite arm talent could punish Arizona Cardinals if secondary depth goes unaddressed. Expect both staffs, Jonathan Gannon and Jim Harbaugh, to script around exactly that battle.

Keep an eye on Kyler Murray (QB) and Justin Herbert (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. Cardinals get the home crowd, worth a few points of swing before kickoff.
