The Chargers face the Falcons on Sunday.
Are you trying to figure out which bets you should place in this competition? Here are my top Chargers bets for Week 13.
(All odds courtesy of BetMGM Sportsbook)
Justin Herbert over 20.5 pass completions (-130)
Herbert has only exceeded that limit in three games this season, but there's good reason to believe he'll take a step up in this one. The Falcons have been pass-prone this season, as opposing quarterbacks completed 71.62% of passes. Additionally, starting cornerback Mike Hughes is out with a neck injury. This is the perfect opportunity for Herbert, who is looking to get back on track after a poor performance last Monday night.
Ladd McConkey over 68.5 receiving yards (-115)
As mentioned above, Herbert will speak his mind and keep his top goal in mind early and often. McConkey has rushed for more than 80 yards in his last two games and has scored at least six times in all but two games. The rookie wideout has a favorable matchup as the Falcons allow the third-highest catchable target rate (85.2%) to slot receivers.
Chargers 1H Moneyline (-110)
The Chargers have led all but three games at halftime this season. Their offense averaged 13.7 points in the first half, ninth-best in the league, while their defense allowed just a league-best 5.7 points. Conversely, the Falcons allowed the second-most points in the first half (15.1). Bottom line, I trust Los Angeles to be ahead at halftime, but they had too many problems offensively in the second half for me to give them the entire game.
