The Sunday slate in Week 10 of the 2022 NFL season will wrap up with an all-California showdown between the Los Angeles Chargers and San Francisco 49ers. Both teams could really use a win. The Chargers are 5-3 but have not been particularly impressive (their point differential is -22 despite being 2 games over .500) and they are once again looking up at Kansas City in the AFC West. San Francisco is 4-4 and trails a surprising Seattle squad in the NFC West.

Part of the value in same game parlays, of course, is that all of its components can be correlated if you so choose. That is some of the plan here, as Christian McCaffrey racking up a bunch of yards would obviously work well with a big win for San Francisco. At the same time, plays that correlated drive up the overall payout of the parlay. That is the case with backing Justin Herbert to throw for a decent chunk of yards, but even if he does there is no reason why the Niners can't take care of business. Let’s break down each of these legs.
Los Angeles is a significant underdog in this one and with the line now larger than a touchdown I'm willing to play it all the way up to -9.5 in favor of San Francisco. The 49ers can win this game by double-digits, in part because the Chargers are dealing with a slew of injuries on offense. Receivers Keenan Allen and Mike Williams are both expected to be sidelined and the offensive line is also banged up. The lack of a consistent ground game has been a factor, too, as Austin Ekeler has topped 60 yards only once this season. On the other hand, the 49ers just had a bye week to heal up – and when head coach Kyle Shanahan has an extra week to prepare you know the offensive game-plan is going to be elite.
