San Diego Chargers vs St. Louis Rams Sun. Oct. 17^th 1pm EST

As they usually do, the San Diego Chargers came into this NFL regular season as the clear favorites to win the AFC West division title and make a run at the Super Bowl, but once again Philip Rivers and company have struggled to get off to a good start and will head into Week 6’s matchup with the St. Louis Rams with a 2-3 record after getting beaten by the Oakland Raiders.

There is no question that the Chargers are still a very talented team with Super Bowl aspirations this season, but with their recent struggles on both sides of the football they are no longer team considered to be an elite team in this league. With a pretty good D across the board, this weeks NFL football betting is going to be a good one.

With that being said, they are pretty much on an even playing ground coming into this matchup with Sam Bradford and the St. Louis Rams. Unlike before the regular season where this would have been a game in which the Chargers would have been come into this game expecting to blowout the Rams, Bradford and his up and coming Rams have a solid shot of pulling off the upset as this San Diego squad that is struggling to get back on track.

Personally, I believe the San Diego Chargers will win this game and start to show signs of life once again, but it will not be easy as the St. Louis Rams are a team that has surprised some good teams this season and could threaten to do some damage this Sunday defending their home field.

As of right now, the San Diego Chargers are favored to come out on top with a -9 point spread. Even though the Chargers could pull this off, I think that taking the Rams at +9 might be wise.
