Chicago Bears vs. Los Angeles Chargers Prediction
Chicago is coming off their most impressive game of the season as they blew out the Las Vegas Raiders a week ago.
Chicago has the opportunity to win back-to-back games for the first time this season.
They will have to do it without starting quarterback Justin Fields. Fields is expected to miss a couple of weeks as he recovers from an injury.
That means that the Bears will turn to 23-year-old Tyson Bagent. Bagent played well in the win a week ago, throwing for 269 yards and one touchdown.
DJ Moore is the best weapon that Bagent has. Moore was acquired in a trade in the off-season and has not disappointed. Moore leads the team with 636 yards.
Tight End Cole Kmet has been a weapon that Chicago has used in the red zone. The former Notre Dame standout has caught three touchdowns this season.
The Bears' defense has struggled, ranking 28th in points allowed per game.
The Chargers desperately need to win this game tonight.
Los Angeles has lost two consecutive games and represents an overall record of 2-4.
A loss tonight could knock them out of the playoff race.
Head coach Brandon Staley is on the hot seat, and if this slide continues for the Chargers, you have to wonder if he will keep his job.
Justin Herbert is the Charger's franchise quarterback. Herbet has played well this season but expects more of himself. He has thrown for 1592 yards, ten touchdowns, and four interceptions.
Austin Eckler will be in the Chargers lineup tonight, which is huge for this offense. Eckler has missed three games this season.
Keenan Allen is showing no signs of slowing down. Allen leads the team with 574 yards and four touchdowns.
The Chargers' defense has been up and down this season, ranking 25th in football in points allowed per game.
Chicago Bears vs. Los Angeles Chargers Pick
This is a desperate spot for the Chargers, who are playing a bad Bears team.
Bagent will have trouble moving the ball with consistency.
Herbert is due for a breakout game, and facing a Bears defense that has been brutal vs the pass, this is the perfect spot to do it.
The Chargers will roll tonight.
