The Los Angeles defense has been terrific ranked eighth in yards given up, fifth on third down (32.22%), and No. 1 in the NFL in points allowed (13 per game). Their three losses have been by a total of 19 points. QB Justin Herbert has 8 touchdowns and only one interception for new coach Jim Harbaugh. The offense is ninth on third down and the team has a +6 turnover margin, the fifth-best in the league. The Chargers are on a 4-2-1 ATS run. Cleveland's offense is last in the league on third down (27.68%). QB Jameis Winston has been forced in and played a great game last week, but let's not get carried away: since 2022, he has 10 TDs and 8 interceptions. And in 2019 with New Orleans, he threw a whopping 30 picks! Sloppy Cleveland leads the NFL in penalties along with a minus-4 turnover margin and is on a 2-8 SU, 3-7 ATS run. Play Los Angeles.

Los Angeles went OVER its four games this season before staying UNDER in Sunday's 26-10 win over the underachieving Oakland Raiders. The Chargers are still seventh in the NFL in total yards of offense and #8 in points scored (27.4 per game). Philip Rivers was a solid 22-of-27 for 339 yards and two touchdowns against the Raiders. Melvin Gordon totaled 120 yards (58 rushing, 62 receiving) and 95 of them came in the first half. Derek Carr threw a costly interception at the Chargers' 1-yard line and Rivers then led his team on a 96-yard drive to seal the win. Cleveland had gone way OVER the total the previous week while losing 45-42 to the Raiders in overtime, but the Browns faced a tougher defense on Sunday but still beat Baltimore 12-9 in overtime. Baker Mayfield continued his impressive rookie season with 342 passing yards and a touchdown with one interception. The Browns also recorded 112 rushing yards on 28 carries led by Carlos Hyde, who ran for 63 yards on 17 carries. The Browns have gone OVER five of their last six games after scoring fewer than 15 points their previous game and look for them to cash in on more of their red zone opportunities. Play the OVER.

Cleveland at Los Angeles
4:05 PM Eastern
Cleveland has covered both meetings the last two years, including gaining its only outright win in 2016 against the Chargers, who are 0-4 ATS their last four games in December. There are more negative trends for the Chargers as they are just 6-13 ATS their last 19 games after a win and 7-19 ATS their last 26 home games whether in San Diego or Los Angeles. This would be an easy game for the Chargers to overlook after their big win over Dallas on Thanksgiving Day and they are laying almost two touchdowns. The Browns will welcome back former Pro Bowl wide receiver Josh Gordon, who is expected to provide a much-needed spark to their offense. Rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer had his best game of the season, passing for 268 yards on 18-of-31 with no interceptions or fumbles against Cincinnati. The Chargers have exploded for 82 points over their last two games against the Cowboys and Buffalo, but it's asking a lot to cover this big number. The Browns have gone OVER their last four road games and nine of their last 13 against teams with losing records dating to last season. Play the Browns and the OVER.
