Chargers vs Cardinals Betting Lines


Chargers Remain a Reliable Favorite

This season has proven disappointing for the Chargers. All that preseason hype has amounted to little. However, the team is 7-3 as an NFL pick against the spread (ATS) and that’s tied for the second-best cover rate. Furthermore, the Chargers are 3-0 ATS as a favorite on the road.

Justin Herbert and the offense has regressed. This unit is 14th in scoring (22.7 points) versus finishing fifth in 2021 (27.9). Injuries are partly to blame as Herbert’s top target, Mike Williams (ankle) is hurt along with key members of the offensive line.

The defense, which is missing its star players, has stayed as one of the three worst teams in scoring (25.8). This team may not make the playoffs, but it has found ways to deliver on the online sports betting lines.

Hurt Cardinals Continue To Lean on McCoy

After beating the Rams two weeks ago, the Cardinals came back to Earth and got humbled by the 49ers in Mexico. McCoy, who started in place of Murray, did what he could but he and the offense managed just 10 points while turning the ball over twice.

The Cardinals are facing a less-prolific defense in the Chargers, but it’s still an uphill climb for the battered team. Arizona is not only missing Murray but the likes of receiver Rondale Moore (groin) and blindside protector D.J. Humphries (back) are banged up. On top of that, tight end and top pass catcher Zach Ertz (knee) is out for the year.

It doesn’t help that the Cardinals have the second-worst scoring defense (26.9). Should the team get lit up early, it may have a tough time mounting a comeback.

Chargers vs Cardinals Game Picks & Prediction

Predicted Score: Chargers 29, Cardinals 23

  • Worth betting on the Moneyline? 

This is a solid line to bet online on the Chargers on the moneyline. At -220, Los Angeles should be able to beat Arizona as the offense is more talented and Arizona’s porous defense will put up little-to-no resistance.

  • Worth Betting ATS?

For a better value, lay the points on the Chargers. The team is only 6-7 ATS as a favorite of five or fewer points since last season. But Arizona does not have the firepower nor the defense to keep the Chargers down.

  • Worth betting on the Totals?

Four of the Cardinals’ six home games have gone over the total. The Cardinals have allowed visitors to score 31 or more points in four of these games. This is the invitation the Chargers need to light up the scoreboard so bet on the ‘over’ at 48 points.
