Monday Night Football Prediction: Can Justin Herbert, Chargers Put Up Points on MNF?
Monday Night Football Prediction: Can Justin Herbert, Chargers Put Up Points on MNF?
On the season, 68% of the primetime games have been the under. I'm not going to overthink this bet for Monday Night Football, there hasn't yet been a shootout for a primetime game. I believe the Cowboys defense will do good tonight against Justin Herbert and the Chargers offense. I also can't see the Cowboys offense putting up a ton of points with how bad Dak Prescott plays in big time games. I believe this game will hit on the under just like most primetime games have this season.

Dallas Cowboys vs. Los Angeles Chargers Prediction
I've been looking at and tracking the primetime games this season against closing lines. After last night's game, 68% of the primetime games have gone under relative to the closing line. What causes this? Nobody knows. Maybe it's the night, maybe it's playing on a highly broadcasted game or maybe its just the line is set too high.
This will be the hardest defense the Chargers have faced so far this season, even with the injuries, and the Cowboys defense are going to be motivated to play better after getting dominated by the 49ers. Plus, I believe Dan Quinn wins over Keller Moore tonight. My one worry is that the will drop Micah Parsons in coverage more than sending him off of the edge, but I believe the Cowboys will lean more on putting pressure on Herbert.
On the other side, the Chargers defense isn't great, and with injuries it might be even worse, but luckily the Cowboys offense hasn't been great either. The Cowboys will find ways to move the ball though, although we have seen the Cowboys struggle under pressure or make bad game management calls. I believe the under will hit tonight in yet again another primetime game.
