00:00But will it be a good game in L.A. based on injuries?

00:04The Bolts and the Bucks, two teams firmly in playoff spots.

00:08Tampa, now a lead once again in the NFC South,

00:12trying to win the division for a fourth consecutive season.

00:15The Chargers trying to hold on to a wild card spot

00:18within the AFC in 8-5 mark at this moment.

00:22L.A. Joe, three-point favorite.

00:24Full field goal at home on Sunday inside SoFi Stadium.

00:29We'll get to Joe Ranieri here in just a moment

00:34here on The Early Line.

00:3646-1⁄2 is that total, by the way, for Sunday.

00:40Joe mentioned 45-1⁄2 is where the number is now.

00:43By the way, Joe mentioned the injuries that we will see

00:46for this game, or perhaps not see as the guys

00:49will not be out there.

00:51Some injuries as well for the Chargers.

00:53Justin Herbert did not practice earlier this week.

00:56Limited participant for L.A. yesterday.

00:59Ladd McConkie trying to work his way back as well.

01:03Joe, if the injuries are there,

01:05and there are more injuries for the Bucks,

01:07their injury report right now reads like a novel.

01:10Who do you think ends up with a victory on Sunday in SoFi?

01:14The team that does not turn the ball over, Ben,

01:18and listen, I think Baker Mayfield

01:20has been outstanding this year.

01:22I don't think he's getting enough credit

01:24for having to overcome a lot of injuries,

01:27especially with a couple of his biggest weapons there

01:30and Godwin and Evans being out.

01:33But now you still got White running the ball,

01:35but, you know, not having Bucky Irving

01:37has been a huge part of this.

01:39It always seems like they're taking two steps forward

01:42and three steps back.

01:44I think the crazy part about this,

01:46and you mentioned with the injuries,

01:48is that am I nuts to think that 45-1⁄2

01:51is too low in this game?

01:53Given the injuries that we have

01:55and given how we've seen the Chargers' defense

01:58against competent offenses,

02:00I don't think this is going to be a 17-14 game, Ben.

02:04I think this is going to be a crazy shootout,

02:07and we already know Baker loves slinging it.

02:10He does have Evans, and, of course, he's got his tight end.

02:14He certainly has enough weapons,

02:16but I think this game is a crazy shootout.

02:19I would even look at team totals over in this one here, Ben.

02:22Mm.
