The Los Angeles Chargers make their home debut at StubHub Center on Sunday, taking on the Miami Dolphins in a Week 2 matchup. The Chargers are coming off a 24-21 loss to Denver as 3-point underdogs on Monday Night Football, while the Dolphins get into action after their Week 1 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was postponed due to hurricane Irma.
The Chargers opened the 2017 NFL season with their sixth straight outright loss, and have covered the spread in just two of their past 10 contests, including four straight SU and ATS losses on home turf, surrendering 28.75 points per game during that stretch.
Miami looks to pick up where it left off last season, when it closed out the regular season on a 9-2 SU run. That includes a 4-1 SU road stretch that started with a 31-24 win over the Chargers as 4-point underdogs in Week 10. The Dolphins were also a solid bet as underdogs last season, going 5-2 SU in their past seven regular-season outings while sporting positive odds.
The Dolphins have largely dominated in head-to-head clashes with the Chargers, going 10-3 SU in their past 13 meetings, but went 1-3 SU and ATS in their final four visits to San Diego.
