The Los Angeles Chargers begin Week 13 against the Atlanta Falcons.
Who will emerge victorious?
Here's a look at the predictions from each of our writers at Chargers Wire:
Gavino:
The Chargers are looking to bounce back from last Monday's loss to the Ravens. Los Angeles enters this game on a short week, while the Falcons enter this game rested after their bye. As for the Bolts' offense, I expect Justin Herbert to destroy the Falcons' defense, which has had trouble passing. On the other side of the ball, I see Jesse Minter's unit getting back on track after giving up a combined 57 points over the last two weeks. Kirk Cousins is not on the same level as Joe Burrow or Lamar Jackson. Bijan Robinson is no Derrick Henry either. Chargers 27, Falcons 21
Alex K:
Atlanta's defense doesn't have the resources to compete with Justin Herbert and Ladd McConkey if both are performing well, but the Falcons' offense is getting healthier and has moved the ball effectively this season. Expect a fairly high-scoring affair that the Chargers can overcome with some key plays on special teams. Chargers 30, Falcons 23
