Will the Eagles find their offense again?
Will Herbert play or won’t he? That’s one of the main questions ahead of our Chargers vs. Eagles tip, as the Chargers quarterback had to undergo hand surgery on Monday. He wants to play, but whether that would be wise is another matter.
In any case, it’s very interesting for tips, as the bookmakers are currently still assuming that he will play. If he is unable to play and Trey Lance takes over, the handicap on the Eagles would certainly skyrocket. So it’s important to keep an eye on the daily press until Monday and, ideally, place bets early.
Even with Herbert, we see the Eagles coming out on top here, which makes betting doubly interesting. Philly has been a little weak in the last two weeks, but they had a similar slump at the beginning of the season and recovered from it relatively quickly.
So, for Chargers vs. Eagles, our prediction is an away win for Philadelphia, which will be even higher if Justin Herbert does not play. It could also be that he starts, but then realizes after a few drives that he can’t play very well with only one hand.
Kick-off for Monday Night Game on NFL Week 14 is at 2:15 a.m. on Tuesday in Los Angeles. It will be broadcast live on the DAZN streaming service – with German commentary.
Los Angeles Chargers – Philadelphia Eagles Head-to-head comparison / H2H record
Both teams are pretty similar this season in terms of statistics. The Chargers score 0.6 points more per game, while the Eagles concede 0.2 points less. In addition, both teams have recently had games in which their offense was completely ineffective.
The Eagles most recently against the Bears, the Chargers two games ago against the Jaguars. Their current form can therefore be assessed as relatively similar. The same picture emerges when comparing the teams directly over the last few years: both teams have won three of their last six encounters.
So will we see a rare tie on Monday? No, because there are points that clearly favor Philly in our opinion. The Chargers’ injury woes are getting worse and worse, and most recently, quarterback Justin Herbert has also been hit.
Even if he takes the field with a splint on his left hand, we don’t see him at 100%. This makes the odds for a Philly win in the Chargers vs. Eagles game much more playable. Apart from Lane Johnson, none of their difference makers on offense or defense are out.
Los Angeles Chargers – Philadelphia Eagles Tip
How high will the handicap for the Eagles be in the end? Currently, it is still between 2.5 and 3.0 points, which we consider to be absolutely playable. However, if it rises above 5.0 points over the course of the weekend, we would tend to go for alternative tips.
Until then, however, a bet on Philadelphia -3.0 is our choice for Chargers vs. Eagles. Under points are always an option in Philly games, as they often struggle offensively but make up for it with their strong defense (only 20.8 points allowed on average).
What’s missing now is an alternative player bet. And since the Chargers’ defense is more vulnerable to the run than to the pass, we recommend a TD bet on Saquon Barkley. Yes, he’s been waiting for a touchdown for four games now, but his slump has to end sometime.
