Chargers vs Falcons Prediction & Pick
Chargers head coach Brandon Staley has stayed committed to taking away the deep passing game by not stacking the box on defense. The only problem is that has led to his team getting decimated on the ground. Los Angeles is giving up 5.7 yards per carry, which is the worst mark in the NFL.
That bodes well for Atlanta's chances of staying undefeated at home with a win. The Falcons have posted the second-highest rushing play percentage in the league (57.6%) and average an impressive 158.1 rushing yards per game (No. 5 in NFL). The stage is set for the Falcons to pull off a big upset.
Final Score Prediction:'Chargers: 24 | Falcons: 27
