Cowboys vs Chargers

It is Herbert and the Chargers at home to Prescott and the Cowboys on Sunday. The Chargers are favored at -3.5. While both quarterbacks were excellent in week one, Herbert and the Chargers’ offense was particularly impressive in converting third downs and controlling the last 6+ minutes with a long sustained drive. The Chargers offensive line was very solid.

There were many concerns about Prescott following last years’ serious ankle injury, but he put them to rest with over 32 completions and 400 passing yards.

Key injuries and a suspension may have a profound effect on this game as the Cowboys for the second year running face a serious depletion in ranks early. The Cowboys had 0 sacks in week one, and with Lawrence and Gregory likely out, the Dallas passing rush will be seriously curtailed. With Collins also out, the Cowboys’ offensive line will struggle to contain All-Pro Joey Bosa and the chargin’ Chargers’ pass rush. Will we see more of Zeke Elliott? Pass protection aside, he had a miserable game in week 1. Certainly it is doubtful that Prescott will be allowed to approach 50 pass attempts again.

The Chargers are well coached, and relatively healthy. Sure, the Cowboys are not going to want to go 0-2, but there is the same impetus for the Chargers to rise to the dizzy heights of 2-0. Lay the points with the Chargers.
