Following a brutal start to the 2017 NFL season, the Chargers are making a run at the back half, winning six of their last eight games both straight up and against the spread.
The Washington Redskins, on the flip side, are heading out of playoff contention, losing five of their last seven games. To call this game a must-win is an understatement, but may be a moot point unless the universe aligns for them this Sunday afternoon.
On the road this year, the Redskins are 2-4 straight up and 3-3 against the spread while the Chargers are currently 3-3 SU and 2-4 ATS when playing at home.

Betting on the Washington Redskins (5-7)
Everything went wrong for the Washington Redskins in their Thursday night showdown against the Cowboys. The Redskins were favored high and there was no chance for the Cowboys to even come close with their poor offense right?
Wrong, Washington made tons of mistakes mentally and physically by coughing up the football as it was not so hard for the Cowboys to score tons of points on a defense that was already tired. With being behind early, the Redskins had to throw away their running game and put the game into Kirk Cousins hand.
It was not the best of starts for Cousins as he finished with 251 passing yards, with two touchdowns and interceptions. Washington made a ton of small mistakes that lead to points for Dallas. Without the pick six and punt return for a touchdown, it is a whole different ball game for the Redskins. This game is huge for them.
Betting on the Los Angeles Chargers (6-6)
With starting the season 0-4, the Chargers were losing fans and hope that they could take back the division with the Raiders and Chiefs having hot starts. However with the slow finishes by the Chiefs and the Raiders, they are all tied up at 6-6 heading into the 13th week of the season.
As of right now, the hottest team in that division is the Los Angeles Chargers. They are coming off three huge wins in a row with beating the Buffalo Bills, Dallas Cowboys, and recently the Cleveland Browns. Quarterback Philip Rivers wants to get into the playoffs and that showed as he was on fire against the weak Browns secondary. Rivers would complete 31 of his 43 passes for 344 yards and a touchdown.
With Rivers having an insane day, wide receiver Keenan Allen also enjoyed one of his best games yet this season. Allen finished with 105 yards on ten catches and the lone touchdown. This team is hot at the right moment and I simple do not see the Washington Redskins stopping them right now.
Writer’s Prediction
Hurry up and get this line before it changes past a touchdown. It is going to be an offense showdown between the two veteran quarterbacks but Cousins will make the first mistake. Pick: Los Angeles Chargers (-6)
