00:00five seat in the AFC up for grabs entering this weekend. It

00:04was on Sunday, the Steelers lose at home to the Bengals

00:08Pittsburgh in danger of falling to the six. If the Chargers beat

00:12the Raiders in Las Vegas, it was the game DRS that breaking down

00:16the weekend slate on Friday felt like it would see the most

00:20movement. If the Steelers won, the Raiders might close as a

00:24favorite. If the Bengals won, the Chargers might be a

00:27touchdown favorite. They were a six and a half point favorite

00:31after opening as a four and a half point favorite in Vegas and

00:35the Chargers make good on that market movement 3420 the victory

00:40for the bolts they cover as nearly a touchdown favorite in

00:43Sin City total of 42 and a half skies over a Chargers team early

00:48in the year Donnie that was led by a ground game and a great

00:52defense under and seven of its first eight now led by Justin

00:56Herbert over in seven of its last nine in Herbert yesterday

01:00346 yards to touchdowns throwing for at least 281 yards in the

01:06last three games for Los Angeles. Yeah, this game was

01:10live on all accounts once you saw the Steelers lose because

01:12earlier in the week you saw horrible say you know what it'd

01:15be really nice to get that five seat they wouldn't have played

01:16any starters if that had not taken place where you saw the

01:19Cincinnati Bengals beat the Pittsburgh Steelers but here we

01:22are now a healthier lineup now coming into the playoffs for the

01:25Chargers 28 of 36 346 and two touchdown passes one of my bets

01:29yesterday was over one and a half touchdown passes which I

01:31wasn't going to make until I saw a final score from the Bengals in

01:35the Steelers game but now you see a healthy J.K. Dobbins eight

01:38carry 63 yards and how about this. I don't know if I've seen

01:41this before 13 targets to be 14 targets 13 catches 186 yards 14

01:48point three yards per reception. Quinton Johnston the guy just

01:51all weeks ago couldn't catch a pass. Now he's starting to come

01:54into his own. Lad McConkey much healthier than a few weeks ago

01:57five catches for 95 yards. This team has defense has offense has

02:02a quarterback that can carry you and a damn good coaching staff

02:05that you know on a game to game basis no matter who they're

02:07going up they're not going to be out coached by the other

02:09opponent. I like what I see from the Chargers.
