Chargers Failing to Cover vs Packers

The San Diego Chargers have been terrible at covering the spread this season with a 1-4 ATS record this season. Those numbers get worse for the Chargers when they face the Green Bay Packers, like they will this Sunday, with San Diego going 0-6 ATS in their past six against the Pack.

Shark Bites
  • The Chargers are 1-7 ATS in their last eight road games in October.
  • The OVER is 7-0 in the Packers past seven games before the bye.
  • The Packers defense recorded four interceptions last week.

The Chargers offense has been almost entirely reliant on quarterback Phillip Rivers this season with the signal caller accounting for over 75 percent of the team’s offensive yardage.

A lot of talk has been around the play of quarterback Aaron Rodgers for the Packers, but the defense has been relentless this season. The Packers are second in the NFL in sacks (20.0) and interceptions (8). Green Bay has also held opponents to 16.2 points per game, good for the third fewest in the NFL.
