The Chargers are already in the playoffs. That doesn’t mean they want to settle for a wild card spot after working so hard to even divisional matters with the Chiefs.

It would just be a strange time for the Bolts to start slacking off mentally. They had the long week, are at home, and have a lot on the line. Does that make them a good bet at -4.5?

He’s been playing well and some people forget with all the time he’s missed with injuries, but he was a force on the rise before missing an extended period. Running back Frank Gore is a wonder, still very productive at his age. With Danny Amendola, Kenny Stills, Kenyan Drake, and others, he has some weapons. But does Miami have enough weapons to win by more than a TD? LL has your NFL pick.
