The LA Chargers (1-0) and Carolina Panthers (1-0) meet for a Week 2 game Sunday at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS).'Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s'NFL odds around the Chargers vs. Panthers odds, and'make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Chargers opened the Jim Harbaugh era with a 22-10 victory against the Las Vegas Raiders Sept. 8. RB J.K. Dobbins rumbled for 135 yards and a touchdown, while the Chargers posted 316 total yards and 5 rushing 1st downs in the victory.
LA also held the Raiders to just 71 rushing yards on 22 attempts, or 3.2 yards per run. The Chargers were plus-3 in the turnover differential, and perhaps the only thing the coach will harp on is 7 penalties, which needs to be cleaned up.
The Panthers were annihilated 47-10 at the New Orleans Saints in Week 1. They slipped behind in the first 2:52 with a 59-yard TD to WR Rashid Shaheed, and New Orleans was up 17-0 at the end of the 1st quarter. The Saints went up 30-0 before Carolina managed a field goal at the end of the 1st half.
