Bolts From The Blue
The Los Angeles Chargers are hoping to continue their winning ways as they take on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 7.
The Colts are going into the game with a 5-1 record, which is the best mark in the AFC, but the Chargers are going into the game as a favorite against the Colts. FanDuel Sportsbook lists the Chargers as a 1.5-point favorite over the Colts.
The Chargers snapped a three-game losing streak in Week 6 by kicking a game-winning field goal in the final seconds to beat the Miami Dolphins.
The Colts are coming off of a close win against the Arizona Cardinals at home, but failed to win against the spread.
This won’t be an easy game for the Chargers, especially with offensive tackle Joe Alt potentially on the sidelines for another week. The offensive line has taken a beating over the past few weeks, but things could be looking up after their win against the Dolphins.
If the Chargers are going to win, quarterback Justin Herbert will have to play like he did against the Dolphins. He completed a season-high 76.3 percent of passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns. His final major play, a pass to wide receiver Ladd McConkey, helped the Chargers pull out the big win.
“That play will be burning in my mind until they throw dirt over top of me,” Harbaugh said via ESPN insider Kris Rhim.
Kickoff between the Colts and Chargers is set for Sunday at 1:05 p.m. ET. Fans can watch the game on CBS or stream it on Paramount Plus.
