Bolts From The Blue
The Los Angeles Chargers are facing the final stretch of their schedule, a five-week gauntlet that will ultimately decide whether or not they return to the playoffs.
The Chargers are coming off of a convincing 31-14 win against the Las Vegas Raiders in their Week 13 matchup, but a new game is on the horizon with the Eagles on deck. FanDuel Sportsbook lists the Chargers as a 3-point underdog over the defending Super Bowl champions despite the game taking place at SoFi Stadium.
The Chargers are 8-4, which is two games behind the Denver Broncos for the lead in the AFC West. They are currently holding onto a Wild Card spot alongside the Indianapolis Colts and Los Angeles Chargers, who are also 8-4. The Houston Texans, who face the Chargers in Week 17 in Los Angeles, are one game back at 7-5.
A win against the 8-4 Eagles would go a long way for the Chargers, who don’t have as much room for error as Philadelphia, who has a lead in the NFC East race.
The Eagles are coming off of a Black Friday loss at home against the Chicago Bears, so they will be well-rested for the matchup.
The matchup should be an intriguing one on a primetime national stage. The game will have ripple effects in both conferences, so it’s a highly-anticipated matchup.
Kickoff between the Eagles and Chargers is set for Monday at 5:15 p.m. PT from SoFi Stadium. Fans can watch the game on ESPN or stream it on the ESPN app.
