Mixon will roll against a LA defense missing Perryman Houston +3.0 vs LA Chargers - The Chargers have not stopped the run well since the end of November, which was when Denzel Perryman was lost to an injury. He is listed as questionable today with a groin injury. Even if he plays he will be hobbled.
Joe Mixon figures to rip through the Chargers’ run defense. This will put Stroud into favorable down-and-distance situations. He’ll have plenty of success hooking up with Nico Collins, as the Chargers have some issues in the secondary as well.
Th Chargers are a bit overrated too, While they did have 11 victories, eight of those 11 victories were against below .500 teams (8-1), and only three (3-5) were against above .500 teams. Two of those wins came against the Denver Broncos, the AFC’s 7 seed. The Bolts have the lowest strength of victory of all 14 playoff teams. The Chargers were 12-4-1 ATS but 2-5 ATS against playoff teams, one again both against Denver
That said, Houston, despite winning another AFC South division title, has looked a bit off all year. C.J. Stroud has had a sophomore slump, largely due to season-ending injuries at receiver, specifically Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell. The offensive line has also allowed a lot of pressure, and Stroud was sacked 52 times, second-most in the league this season.
On the other side, Justin Herbert was sacked 41 times (7th most) and the Chargers OL could have its hands full with Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter drawing so much focus off the edge and Tim Settle getting pressure up the middle.
This looks to be a toss up type of game so I’ll take Houston and the points
I’ll also do a prop bet of based on Perryman not at full strength of he plays
Joe Mixon 80+ yards +135

Wilsons fumble at the 4 and a pick six have inflated this spread Pittsburgh +9.5 vs Pittsburgh - This line is completely out of control. Ravens-Steelers games are almost always close, and now Baltimore wllll be missing its No. 1 WR Zay Flowers.
Football fans know this matchup all too well, and bettors typically know exactly what to do in Steeler vs Ravens matchups: You always take the under, and you always want the underdog, especially as 'dogs of a field goal or more.
Nine straight matchups between these teams had finished within one score until Baltimore blew Pittsburgh out a few weeks ago, and the last six matchups before that one had finished at 34 points or fewer.
Yeah, the Ravens throttled the Steelers 34-17 in their last matchup but 7 of those points came on a pick six and Russel Wilson fumbled the ball at the Ravens 4.
If there’s one team that knows how to slow down Lamar Jackson, it’s the Steelers. Pittsburgh built its defense to combat Jackson, after all. There’s a reason why the Ravens have difficulty reaching 20 points in this rivalry. They did so in the prior meeting, but seven of those points came off a pick-six.
The forecast calls for low 30s with 15 MPH winds and gusts up to 25 MPH, making this a “windy under” low scoring type game.
I’ll take the points in what should be a low scoring game.
Given the windy conditions I’ll also do a prop bet of
Lamar Jackson under 217.5 yards -110
