Los Angeles Chargers at Miami Dolphins

The Los Angeles Chargers are in a rut right now, losing in back-to-back weeks in games that they certainly could have won. After blowing a lead against the Detroit Lions in Week 2, they went to Houston to take on the Texans in Week 3, losing to a team that will likely be in the playoffs this season.

The loss of Melvin Gordon has not hurt the Chargers too much, but it has been the losses everywhere else that have been devastating. They lost an All-Pro safety in Derwin James, and their left tackle, Russell Okung, all before a single snap of the regular season was played.

Still, they will get back in the win column this weekend, even though they are back on the road, thanks to the fact they will play the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins are in downright tank mode, and with the Chargers offensive firepower, they should be able to put this team away early, moving their record to 2-2 on the season.

Prediction: Chargers 30 Dolphins 14
