Tuesday’s primetime matchup is a massive matchup between two sides with 8-4 records. The Chargers are looking to seal up a wildcard playoff spot and the Eagles are looking to get back on track after 2 straight defeats. Here are my NFL betting tips for the last game of Week 14.<\/p>\n
After back to back losses, the Eagles are looking to bounce back in primetime this week. Last week, they lost a key game against the Bears 24-15 and their offence just continues to struggle. They rank just 19th in the NFL for points socred and have struggled to get both their running and passing game going. The Eagles D also struggled to stop the run last week, giving up a massive total of 281 rushing yards.<\/p>\n
Coming off a shocker against the Jags (35-6 loss), the Chargers got back on track last week with a comfortable 31-14 win over the Raiders. Justin Herbert tossed 2 passing touchdowns but it will be interesting to see how he goes after hurting his non-throwing hand. However, they ran the ball with ease, totalling 192 rushing yards and Vidal finished with 126 yards \/ 1 TD. That’s a great sign coming into this matchup with the Eagles struggling run defence.<\/p>\n
The Eagles are struggling to score points and Herbert has a hand injury, so those factors should see this be a low scoring one. Philly are 4-1 against the Under in their last 5 games as well.<\/p>\n
With the Eagles struggling on both sides of the ball, the Chargers should be able to make this a close game and potentially get the upset at home. They love playing Philly at home, winning 5 of their last 6 and LA are hot at the moment after 4 wins in their last 5. The Eagles are just 1-5 against the Chargers on the road and they’re definitely not in the best form right now.<\/p>\n
Despite the Eagles struggles, Hurts has been able to get their passing game going in the last 2 weeks. Against the Bears last week, he had 230 pass yards and previously had 289 against Dallas. This season, he has gone over 175 passing yards in 8 of 12 games.<\/p>\n
