The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-6 SU, 8-5 ATS) visit the Los Angeles Chargers (8-5 SU, 9-4 ATS) in a game where both teams have a chance to prove themselves after mostly beating bad teams. The Bucs have charged to the top of the NFC South by beating Las Vegas, Carolina and the Giants, which came after they went through a four-game losing streak. Tampa Bay might have the highest variance of any team in the NFC, as it has beaten Detroit and Philadelphia, but lost twice to Atlanta.
The Chargers have come close to beating a pair of good teams, but came up short to Kansas City and Baltimore. They’ve been on a strong upward trend otherwise, but they also managed to beat four weak opponents in New Orleans, Cleveland, Tennessee and Cincinnati. Beating the Bucs would be a big step forward for Los Angeles.

Our Los Angeles Chargers vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers Prediction
The big question with this game is whether Tampa Bay’s offense is for real. The Buccaneers have averaged 5.1 yards per carry, and Los Angeles has really struggled to stop the run game. The Chargers are strong against the pass, but Tampa Bay’s biggest strength is moving the ball on the ground. When it comes to the air, the Bucs prefer to nickel-and-dime a defense with short, safe completions.
The Chargers’ strengths on offense don’t really match up with the Buccaneers’ strengths on defense. Tampa Bay tends to be very susceptible to the pass, but the Chargers haven’t really moved the ball very well through the air. Even with Justin Herbert under center, the Los Angeles pass attack ranks just 25th in the NFL. The Chargers excel at not making mistakes, but they tend to simply not go for the big play. With that being the case, the clock should be moving constantly. Our prediction for Tampa Bay vs. Los Angeles is Under 45.5.
