Rams vs Chargers Betting Lines
Mayfield Working Well for Rams
The Denver Broncos definitely gave up last week. They quit on their head coach, Nathaniel Hackett, on Christmas Day, but the Los Angeles Rams deserve credit as they made them quit.
If the Rams were not ready to play and did not start the game well, they wouldn’t have rung up 51 points in a 37-point blowout of the Broncos. They scored 17 points in the first quarter and 14 more in the second to build a 31-6 halftime lead.
Baker Mayfield completed 11 of his first 12 passes in a razor-sharp start to the game. He finished 24 of 28 for 230 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions.
He completed a 13-point comeback against the Las Vegas Raiders earlier in December, then finished the month in style. He has revived his NFL career and is in a much better place than he was in Charlotte with the Carolina Panthers’ sinking ship earlier this season.
Chargers Focusing on No. 5 Seed
The No. 4 seed in the AFC playoffs will be the winner of the Week 18 game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans. The winner of that game will have a record no better than 9-8 and possibly just 8-9.
Facing the No. 4 seed in the playoffs is an important goal for the AFC’s wild card teams and, specifically, the Chargers. If they can build off their Week 16 win over the Indianapolis Colts with another victory in Week 17 over the Rams, they’ll be in good shape.
The Rams are clearly no pushover and the Chargers have had a tough time with weaker foes this season. Those who bet online saw them struggle with the Colts a little bit before finally taking control in the fourth quarter.
The Chargers also lost to the Las Vegas Raiders and barely edged the Arizona Cardinals and Denver Broncos this season. If that’s the Chargers team that shows up, don’t be surprised if they lose.
