Key Factors

Favors Over

This game's line indicates an extreme passing game script for the Chargers, who are heavy -7-point underdogs.
The 4th-most plays in the league have been run by the Chargers since the start of last season (a whopping 59.4 per game on average).
Justin Herbert has been one of the top passers in football since the start of last season, averaging an excellent 208.0 adjusted yards per game while checking in at the 80th percentile.
Since the start of last season, the anemic Bills defense has been torched for the 3rd-most yards-after-the-catch in football to opposing teams: a massive 0.74 YAC.
As it relates to cornerbacks in covering receivers, Buffalo's unit has been awful since the start of last season, profiling as the worst in football.

Favors Under

Right now, the 7th-least pass-heavy offense in the NFL (58.7% context-neutralized) according to the model is the Chargers.
The projections expect the Chargers to call the 9th-fewest offensive plays on the slate this week with 62.7 plays, accounting for their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
Los Angeles's passing stats since the start of last season may be artificially inflated (and rushing stats deflated) as a result of playing the 10th-most "low wind" (4-mph or less) games in the NFL. We ought to be able to expect some regression with windier conditions in this game.
The forecast calls for 13-mph wind in this game. High wind generally means lower pass volume (and increased run volume) and lessened passing efficiency.
Our trusted projections expect Justin Herbert to attempt 31.6 passes in this week's game, on balance: the 11th-fewest out of all QBs.
