Los Angeles Chargers Vs San Francisco 49ers
The (5-3) Los Angeles Chargers will be visiting the (4-4) San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium for Sunday Night Football.
The Chargers come off a 20-17 victory against the Atlanta Falcons, a big victory for them to stay in distance of first place in the AFC west division. The Chargers have dealt with injuries on both sides of the ball Justin Herbert has been playing hurt, wide receiver Keenan Allen is questionable, and wide receiver Mike Williams is listed as doubtful. Herbert has struggled as of recently as his receiving core has been a little thin and his only downfield threat is Joshua Palmer who had eight receptions for 106 yards last week. As for the Chargers defense they look good on paper but on the field they are allowing the third-most points per game in the NFL and will have to do better defensively against a good 49ers rushing attack.
The 49ers have gotten some much needed rest and are fresh off a bye week. In their last game the 49ers beat the rams 31-14 two weeks ago. Since adding star running back Christian McCaffrey they’ve looked like a team that can run the ball efficiently and throw the ball when they need too. McCaffrey put on a show against the Rams as he had 1 passing touchdown, 1 rushing touchdowns with 94 yards on the ground, and 55 yards receiving with 1 receiving touchdown. Jimmy Garoppolo has many offensive weapon to choose from those players include George Kittle, Mcaffery, and Deebo Samuel. If the 49ers defense can limit Justin Herbert to short throws and no deep balls the 49ers could have a legitimate shot at winning this game at home to stay in reach of a playoff spot.
Both teams are fighting to stay in contention for the playoffs and try to stay in reach of first place in their respective divisions. An important matchup between the Chargers and 49ers one team could walk away with a very important victory for their team.
Score prediction: Chargers win (24-17)
