Chargers vs. Atlanta Falcons: Betting odds, lines and picks

The Chargers are coming back from the bye and they are playing the first-place Atlanta Falcons. Mike Williams and Keenan Allen are injured and Josh Palmer and Donald Parham are out of concussion protocol. The team has managed 81 or less yards on the ground in seven of their eight games. The outlier against the Browns with 238 yards is still fresh in everybody's mind.

Chargers are the favorite at home against the Falcons. Cordarrelle Patterson is injured but could be back this week. The Chargers defense has allowed a league-high 5.7 yards per carry.

The Chargers and Falcons are playing a game on Sunday. The over is reasonable at either 49 or 49.5. Herbert is getting better after a rib injury. Allen and Williams are injured. The Chargers are a one-dimensional offense because they have no running game.
