How it plays out

Los Angeles Chargers vs Los Angeles Rams is an inter-conference matchup: the AFC Chargers hosting the NFC Rams. This projects as a coin flip, 49-51 with the spread at PK. Only 2 spots separate them in the power rankings, about as even as it gets.

Tactically, Los Angeles Chargers will want to lean on elite arm talent to attack Los Angeles Rams, whose secondary is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Los Angeles Rams's creative passing could punish Los Angeles Chargers if aging edges goes unaddressed. Expect both staffs, Jim Harbaugh and Sean McVay, to script around exactly that battle.

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