The Los Angeles Chargers kick off Week 7 against the Arizona Cardinals.
Who is going to come out victorious?
Here is a look at the predictions from each of our writers at Chargers Wire:
Gavino:
The Chargers come into a State Farm Stadium looking to improve against a Cardinals team dominated by the Packers a week ago. Los Angeles should have success running the football against an Arizona defense that’s allowing an average of 153.0 yards per game on the ground. The Bolts’ defense is the strength of the team, ranking No. 1 in points allowed per game (13.2). It will be difficult for the Cardinals’ offense to find success. Chargers 24, Cardinals 14
Alex K:
Los Angeles has been a top 3 unit against the run this season by EPA/rush, whereas Arizona has ranked in the bottom 10. Expect that to be the difference in a showdown between two of the league’s top rushing offenses. The Chargers’ ability to pass the ball last week was also an encouraging sign that could factor in with Cardinals starters Sean Murphy-Bunting and Garrett Williams dealing with injuries. Chargers 27, Cardinals 13
