The Los Angeles Chargers (8-6; 8-5-1 ATS) are coming off a huge 17-14 victory over the Tennessee Titans in Week 15.

Tennessee tied the game at 14-14 with 48 seconds left on the clock, but Justin Herbert completed a 35-yard pass to Mike Williams to get the Chargers into field-goal range.
“We have practiced two-minute drives all of the time in practice and all throughout camp. We know that we have special receivers, a great offensive line blocking and Mike Williams goes and makes the plays,” Herbert said. “To be able to go through that and deal with as much adversity as we did tod ay and not be able to score points and turnovers and things like that, for those guys to hang tough, believe in the defense and believe in each other, it was really good to see for us.”
