Best Bet: LA Chargers -2 (-110)

I’ve noticed the trendy dog pick this week is the Jags. I get it, it’s a good story. Crappy team for all those years, finally get a real coach and now their young QB may be panning out. But, don’t lose sight of the fact that this team still lost to Denver and the Texans this year. The defense does a pretty good job stopping the run but are poor against the pass. Now I get Justin Herbert in his first playoff game against a soft opponent. That’s a good position to be in. That’s something Brandon Staley can’t even screw up. Trust me, he tried by getting Mike Williams hurt for the rest of the season. I think Keenan Allen, Josh Palmer and Austin Ekeler do just enough through the air to give the Chargers a 3 point win.
