Here's what my top capper said about the game this morning.
What casual bettor wants to wager on the Chargers right now? People just saw the Chargers get demolished by the Jaguars, and as far as everyone knows, Herbert is not healthy.
Well, a week can be an eternity for professional athletes and their access to elite medical care. Herbert is likely going to be much better in this game than he was in the previous one, which obviously bodes extremely well for his outlook. There's also a good chance that Herbert will have many of his injured starters back in the lineup. Slater is obviously not one of them, but players like Keenan Allen, J.C. Jackson and Linsley could all return.
With that in mind, I expect the Chargers to be so much better than they were last week. Given that they're coming off a defeat, and their loss in Houston late last year, they'll be fully focused to avoid moving to 1-3. We'll get their "A" effort, which should be more than enough to cover a spread that has shrunk since it was released prior to the Week 3 games. The advance line was Chargers -7, and now it's -5. We're getting two key numbers, which is incredible value.
Assuming I'm right about the injury report, the Chargers will be one of my top bets of the week. This reminds me of last Sunday's Bengals-Jets affair. One of the better teams in the NFL was looking to redeem itself versus a dreadful opponent on a reduced point spread. This almost seems too easy.
Last week he had 33 units spread out in 11 games, winning all contests but the Giants whom he had three units on. Usually I wait til Saturday's injury listing before committing, but I don't think we'll hear much different with the Chargers and Cowboys' line is rising already. Also will be taking the Cardinals at +2
