San Diego Chargers at Buffalo Bills NFL Betting Odds

Written by Jimmy Boyd

A desperate San Diego Chargers (3-3) team rebounded last week with a dominating 30-10 win as -6 chalk vs the New England Patriots. This week in the San Diego Chargers vs Buffalo Bills game the Chargers will try to out-gun the Bills (4-1) at Ralph Wilson stadium. The Chargers still have loads of talent but they are still suspect as contenders. The Bills are suspect as real contenders too for the matter. This should be a good indicator where these teams really are. The NFL betting odds for the San Diego Chargers vs Buffalo Bills game has Buffalo at -1 on the SPREAD.

Phillip Rivers is leading a San Diego offense that misses All-Pro LaDainian Tomlinson’s pre-toe injury production. Rivers (109.4 passer rating) has stepped up to the plate and proved that he is a top-tier NFL QB with Tomlinson hobbled. Rivers will try to exploit a Bills secondary that will be without top coverman Terrence McGee. The Bills have a respectable 75.6 opposing passer rating with 10.0 defensive sacks. The Bills were pathetic on defense last week however, giving up 41 points to the Arizona Cardinals. Bills safety Donte Whitner had this to say after last week’s performance. “We know that we can’t play that way any more. And I don’t think you’ll see that again. It was bad. We just played bad in every phase of the game.” The Chargers are expected to be without top wideout Chris Chambers who is listed as questionable. The NFL betting odds OVER\UNDER for the San Diego Chargers vs Buffalo Bills game is at 44 points.

Buffalo Bills QB Trent Edwards (93.9 passer rating) is planning on playing after suffering a concussion 2 weeks ago. Edwards is a very instinctive player that has made clutch plays all season. Edwards could be under some heat this week against a Chargers pass-rush that has 17.0 sacks. Bills RB Marshawn Lynch (3.5 YPC 410 total yds. 4 TD) has found running room at a premium with LT Jason Peters still working his way back into shape. Lynch will meet an improving Chargers rushing defense that stuffed the Patriots last week. San Diego 6′3″ 350 Lb. NT Jamal Williams has been a force in the middle for the Chargers defense. Buffalo Bills 6′8″ 370 Lb. right tackle Langston Walker had this to say about the Bills offensive woes. “We’re a work in progress, We’re running more in the red zone, which was an emphasis from our coaches. We’re going to re-evaluate things … and see if we can change things and make things better.” One area in the San Diego defense that could get exploited is CB Antonio Cromartie covering Bills WR Lee Evans (4.30 40-speed).

The Chargers long trip could prove to be there undoing. A well-rested Bills team, facing a cross country traveling Chargers team with LaDainian Tomlinson at 70%, gives Buffalo a good shot at winning. Was the Bills blowout loss to Arizona a sign of things to come however? The NFL betting odds MONEYLINE for the San Diego Chargers vs Buffalo Bills game is Buffalo -115.
