Premium Pick

The Los Angeles Chargers will look to bounce back from being embarrassed at Denver last week, losing 28-13 as Justin Herbert threw 2 interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown. The Chargers might have been still recovering from a thrilling, come-from-behind win over the Steelers the previous Sunday night when Herbert had the best game of his career. Cincinnati has been inconsistent and had losses to the Jets and Browns before beating Las Vegas and Pittsburgh. Five of its games have been decided by three points, and two went into overtime. Herbert still finished 28 of 44 for 303 yards and 2 TDs against the Broncos and is capable of putting up big numbers at any time. The Chargers are 35-16-4 ATS their past 55 games as road underdogs, and the Bengals are 3-8 ATS following a win dating to last season. The Chargers are 7-4 UNDER this year, mostly due to high posted totals such as this one, and last year's meeting stayed UNDER by 12.5 points. The UNDER is 20-7-1 in the Chargers' last 28 December games, and they are 8-1 UNDER after scoring fewer than 15 points their previous game. Take the Chargers and the UNDER.
