22. L.A. Chargers (-3)

The Chargers have lost huge leads in several games this season, and for all the good that Justin Herbert has been doing, it hasn’t changed the win-loss record of this team in a positive way yet.

This is a coaching issue at this point and this is something that the Chargers have to be very careful of because whether you believe it or not, momentum is real, and creating a losing or winning locker room is a big part of what pushes those things in the right direction.

Rarely do quarterbacks come into the NFL and lose a lot of games, and then suddenly turn it around and become winners.

21. Philadelphia Eagles (+2)

Division games are never “easy”, but if the Eagles didn’t find a way to be the Cowboys and their depleted roster this week it would have been time for a fire sale in Philly.

But that didn’t happen and the Eagles won in a game that never really felt close despite the score. The positive takeaway from this game is that Carson Wentz has great chemistry with Travis Fulgham and it looks like rookie WR Jalen Reagor is going to be someone that the Eagles force the ball to this year.

With an offense that is slowly getting healthier, I don’t think the Eagles are going to be this great comeback story, but I do think that they might be able to claw their way back to 8-8.
