00:00but sunday night not bad so far sunday night in fact in los angeles between the chargers and the

00:07bangles it is a game that despite being a slight road underdog cincinnati can ill afford to lose

00:15meanwhile jim harbaugh gets to a new organization gets to a new program and has he has displayed

00:22in the entirety of his head coaching career he wins not in a year or two but right away

00:29the chargers are six and three and a slight home favorite on sunday night total 47 and a half joe

00:36how do you see sunday and so five between the bolts and the bangles playing out well here's a

00:41trivia question for you ready ben uh what are gardner minchew bryce young bo nick spencer radler

00:48jamis winston and will levis all have in common this year yeah lost to the chargers

00:54they you bingo there you go those are the quarterbacks the chargers have managed to

00:59figure out how to beat uh joe burrow yeah not in that category even remotely close nor are they

01:06even remotely close offensively cincinnati to any of those teams that they've already beat

01:11and listen the market is telling you that ben what this is one and a half it would appear to

01:17me the market has no idea they're not comfortable with laying the customary two and a half maybe

01:23three here for uh the chargers we already know they don't have a great home field advantage over

01:30the years but let's be realistic here uh i mean jamar chase joe burrow and anybody else they want

01:37to throw at them the chargers defense this is going to be a lot for them to deal with they had

01:42a lot to deal with against tennessee last week uh i think this is do or die for cincinnati again

01:49i think the market listing this at minus one and a half tells you they're not all in on the

01:54chargers i think cincinnati has a really good opportunity to put points up against this defense

02:00and i like the chargers i don't like them in this spot against cincinnati at all i completely agree

02:06joe i would say that's exactly how i feel on this game we'll see it later in our sunday pick six for

02:12nfl week number 11 my outright underdog my money line underdog is cincinnati it is a game the

02:20bangles cannot lose because if they do they will be four and seven and at a certain point joe you

02:26have to really wonder what the rest of the season has i would say the margin of error for cincy

02:32is incredibly limited maybe one more loss potentially two but that would be it and nine

02:40and eight would not make you feel easy coming down the home stretch of the final two and three

02:45weeks of the nfl season the bangles still have a lot of divisional games on the horizon both games

02:52against the steelers and pittsburgh's looking pretty darn good and another one against the

02:57browns if i am not mistaken they've already played the ravens and as we talked about on a football

03:02friday exactly a week ago they will look back on their season if they miss out on the playoffs

03:08and say we squandered opportunities to knock off the flock they cannot let this opportunity

03:13pass them by now la has won three consecutive games four of their last five the chargers have

03:19covered in all six victories this season joe this total for la kind of like we highlighted for

03:25pittsburgh and baltimore is by far the highest the bolts have played this season the previous highest

03:32total that monday night doubleheader game in the desert against arizona 44 and a half those two

03:38teams didn't even come close to even threatening that total 17 to 15 the final score the chargers

03:44did lose on the road in fact the chargers have gone under in seven of nine games if la is going

03:51to win this game stays under but if joe burrow gets the better of justin herbert as we might

03:57expect as we compare these quarterbacks that favors the bangles and the bangles in a big way

04:04yeah it absolutely does ben and i do think there is a correlation um but we've also seen charger

04:11home games go under right i mean we've seen 44 34 27 and 32 in the last four home games for the

04:19chargers total points they average uh at home their games average around 33.8 points that's

04:26four less than any team chargers don't play at a fast pace but the chargers also have done

04:32a great job of playing from in front the chargers have not found themselves ben having to play from

04:37behind can't take your time and run the ball if you're trailing and i think that's what we're

04:44going to see i think the bangles can score score quickly and then i think the charger

04:48is going to have to play catch up that's where the over comes into play
