Our Washington Commanders vs Los Angeles Chargers Prediction
While the Chargers failed to keep their unbeaten start to the season alive in Week 4, they look to be the better betting option against the Commanders. Especially considering that Washington’s Jayden Daniels is still questionable for this game.
Washington backup quarterback Marcus Mariota lacks the same skill set as Daniels, which was highlighted in the Week 4 loss against the Atlanta Falcons. Further, Los Angeles still has one of the toughest defenses in the NFL and has one of the top quarterbacks in the league with Justin Herbert.
Given the uncertainty surrounding Daniels, our Los Angeles Chargers vs Washington Commanders prediction is: Los Angeles Chargers ML.Jackpot Pools
