The Los Angeles Chargers and Indianapolis Colts meet for a massive AFC clash on Sunday. The Chargers are heading back to LA to host the Colts after a narrow win against the Miami Dolphins last Sunday. The Colts now travel across the country to take on the Bolts after a close win against the Arizona Cardinals.
Both teams are playing very well right now. The Colts are 5-1 after a blazing hot start. Their lone loss of the season came against the Los Angeles Rams. The Colts have three blowout wins on the year against the Dolphins, Tennessee Titans, and Las Vegas Raiders. The Colts must keep their foot on the gas pedal on offense, and they will be in great shape to compete in all of these games.
The Chargers are 4-2 and avoided their third straight loss against Miami last Sunday. The Chargers led by 13 in the 4th quarter but allowed 14 straight points from the Dolphins to trail late in the game. Justin Herbert, Ladd McConkey, and Cameron Dicker showed up late to propel them to a win. Herbert had an unreal play to McConkey for a big gain to set them up for the winning field goal. Head coach Jim Harbaugh had high praise for his quarterback, as he always does.
This is a big game for both teams. The winner should see themselves atop the AFC standings this winter. The Buffalo Bills are coming off two straight losses and are now second in the AFC East behind the New England Patriots. The Steelers are 4-1 with their bye in the rear view mirror.
Let’s get into some bold predictions for this Week 7 clash in Los Angeles.
Tyler Warren has secretly had one of the best seasons by a rookie so far. The Colts’ tight end leads the team in receiving with 29 catches, 370 yards, and two touchdowns, which is second behind Michael Pittman Jr. Warren is playing very well and is a reliable target for Daniel Jones. A lot of Jones’ success this season is due to him targeting Warrne 40 times with only 11 incompletions. Warren has scored a touchdown in two straight games against the Raiders and Cardinals.
The Chargers don’t defend the tight end well. They allowed Darren Waller to score a late touchdown last weekend and have a history of letting Travis Kelce run all over them. Warren will often be targeted against LA and should have a similar outing as he did against the Cardinals with 6+ catches and a touchdown.
Daniel “Indiana” Jones is turning into a star in Indianapolis. In what could be the greatest nicknames in sports, the Colts’ star is going to be relied on a ton against the Chargers. The Chargers have a good pass rush, but will be without Khalil...
