CIncinnati Bengals at Los Angeles Chargers

The Los Angeles Chargers need to start being shown some love from fans and media people alike. This team just had a statement game in front of the entire nation on Sunday night. To beat the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road in prime time without Melvin Gordon is not an easy task. What will be an easy task is facing the Bengals who are atrocious. Without Andy Dalton and A.J. Green, the Bengals will most likely not win a game for the rest of the season.

The Chargers will handle the Bengals without much struggle. If the Bengals can score more than 14 points against the Chargers stellar defense, then that already should be considered a win. The Chargers are in a favorable position this week. The Ravens will be a handful for the Chiefs, so there is a chance they could lose. It’s not as much of a sure thing for a Chiefs victory as it is for a Chargers victory.

As a matter of fact, the Chargers are currently the much more hotter team. It would not shock me if they continued their dominance and ended up winning the AFC West. With what’s going in Kansas City lately, the Chargers are in prime position to take over the lead in the division. With that said, there is no chance the Chargers will lose to the Bengals, regardless of Melvin Gordon’s status.

Chargers 34   Bengals 14
