Chargers Linebacker Injury Could Be Another Bolt In The Coffin
The winless Los Angeles Chargers were already struggling before their leading defender, Jatavis Brown, went down with tweaked right foot during Week 4’s meeting against the Eagles in Philadelphia. Having lost three of their first four games by a field goal or less, a Chargers linebacker injury is probably the worst thing that could happen to the team right now.
However, Brown says he’s ready to start Sunday when the Chargers travel to New York to take on the 0-4 Giants. Whether he’ll be close to 100% or not is a definite question mark, and any slowdown in Brown’s step could shake up the secondary behind him, letting Giants quarterback Eli Manning find his groove and stack up a pile of yards. In any case, it’s worth keeping an eye on this contest’s lines to see what kind impact the betting public thinks the Chargers linebacker injury might have on the game.
Right now, California sports betting at legal online sportsbooks Bovada, SportsBetting, and BetOnline all have the Chargers as 3.5-point underdogs, which seems about right. Still, I don’t think the Chargers will cover the spread, and I think Manning is due for a big game through the air. I’m not sure this matchup will clear the 45-point over/under, but the Giants ought to earn their first win of the season. Chargers linebacker injury or not, the Giants just seem like the better team overall. Of course, that’s not saying much.
Hey, at least somebody’s getting off the schneid this weekend.
