Los Angeles Chargers

The Los Angeles Chargers now have a chance to hit 7-3—while making a statement to the globe in primetime during an AFC showdown against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday Night Football.

Those Chargers have won three in a row and four of five while key names like Justin Herbert and Joey Bosa get healthier. Quietly, the team’s three losses have come at the hands of winning teams with a combined record of 22-6.

Things haven’t gone as planned for the visiting Bengals. Joe Burrow continues to play at near-MVP levels but keeps getting dragged down by a miserable defense. The Bengals have lost two of their last three, although looked competitive against the likes of Baltimore (twice) and Kansas City.

While the Bengals will probably put up a healthy amount of yardage and points regardless of opponent, Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack going to work against an offensive line that could be missing its starting left tackle is a recipe for some game-swinging plays.

Look for a typical Harbaugh game, where a strong running game exploits a bad defense and keeps the other offense off the field as much as possible.

Final score: Chargers 30, Bengals 28
