The Bengals head to L.A. off a mini bye following their wild shootout with Baltimore last Thursday. Cincinnati is as explosive as they come, and quarterback Joe Burrow will be the toughest test for this Chargers defense all season (yes, that includes Patrick Mahomes). Let’s not sell the Chargers offense short though. Justin Herbert is healthy and has this attack rolling, putting up scores of 26, 27, and 27 in those three contests. Los Angeles is 8 for 11 inside the red zone in those outings and just got a slew of skill players back from injury. This offense has flipped the script from going run heavy in the opening weeks to pass happy since October. The Bengals defense is straight dookie, sitting bottom 10 in the NFL in most advanced metrics. Cincinnati has allowed a combined 96 points over the past three games, giving up 0.545 points per play in that span. Unsurprisingly, the Over has hit in each of those showings.
