Buffalo Bills at San Diego Chargers Odds

The Buffalo Bills (5-7) will try to avoid a sixth straight loss when they visit the San Diego Chargers (5-7) Sunday.

The Bills are currently a seven-point underdog with the total set at 47.5

Buffalo’s woes continued last Sunday with a 23-17 home loss to the Tennessee Titans.

Ryan Fitzpatrick connected on 29 of 46 pass attempts for 288 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions, but it wasn’t enough. Seven passes found the hands of Brad Smith, who led the team with 72 receiving yards.

Stevie Johnson hauled in the touchdown pass.

C.J. Spiller led the way on the ground with 83 yards and a score on 14 carries.

The Chargers brought their six-game losing streak to an end Monday night with a 38-14 road win over the Jasksonville Jaguars.

Philip Rivers had his best game in a long time. He completed 22 of 28 throws for 294 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. Four completions, including one of the touchdown tosses, went to Malcom Floyd, who led the team with 108 receiving yards.

Ryan Mathews led the rushing attack with 112 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries.

Another big game from Matthews will likely mean a San Diego victory. The Chargers, who rushed for 139 yards last week, are 4-1 this season when rushing for 116 yards or more. They could be poised for a big day on the ground versus a Buffalo defense that has allowed an average of 141.8 rushing yards during its losing streak.

The Bills gave up 187 rushing yards to the Titans last Sunday.

Stopping the run has also been an issue for San Diego, which has allowed an average of 146.9 rushing yards over its last eight games.

Buffalo’s running attack has taken a hit with the injury to Fred Jackson, but it might be able to find some running room against the Chargers. It better because the Bills are 0-5 in their last five games when they fail to reach the century mark in rushing.

These two have split the last six in the series with the Bills winning the most recent meeting 23-14 at home on Oct. 19, 2008.

The home team has been the play recently as it has covered the spread in each of the last four meetings.  This trend, however, could come to an end Sunday as the Chargers are just 1-5 against the number in their last six home games.

The Bills are 10-4 against the spread in their last 14 games as a road underdog of 3.5 to 10 points.

It will be interesting to see how the total plays out since the Chargers are 9-1 under in their last 10 home games and the Bills are 6-0-1 over in their last seven road contests.
