Jacksonville +135 over LA Chargers 

1:00 PM ET. The market is doing what the market always does after a prime-time blowout: it chases ghosts. The Chargers embarrassed Pittsburgh on Sunday night, so suddenly they’re being priced like a stable, properly-built football team that doesn’t melt down the moment something goes wrong. That’s an overreaction we’re thrilled to fade.

Los Angeles is now laying a full field goal against a Jacksonville team coming off a gut-punch collapse, which is exactly where the value shows up. When you lose a game twice — once on the field and then again in the market — you buy low. This is buy-low 101.

Jacksonville blew a 19-point fourth-quarter lead to a backup QB. Liam Coen walked off the field looking like he wanted to personally unplug the scoreboard. Now the Jags are being punished again, getting bumped to a +3 because Harbaugh’s crew feasted on an absolute corpse of a Steelers offense.

That’s not analysis. That’s recency bias with a fresh coat of paint. Let’s break it down:

? The Chargers are still a structural mess up front.

You can’t sugarcoat it: LA is missing bodies everywhere on the offensive line. Harbaugh can rah-rah his way through that against Pittsburgh’s lifeless pass rush, but this is still an O-line that has been losing the line of scrimmage all season.

? Jacksonville is dead last in sack rate… which is exactly why this number is inflated.

Everyone sees that stat and assumes LA will coast. That’s not how this works. Pass rush is a volatility metric — it swings week to week based on opponent and script. The Chargers’ line has been leaking for two months. You don’t fix that in six days. This is the first time in a month Jacksonville’s front can dictate through disguise rather than relying on talent alone.

- The Chargers’ defense was on the field for only 22 minutes last week.

Good for them. They basically played a preseason workload. That only adds fuel to the narrative that LA is surging and Jacksonville is collapsing — and that’s where the market loses the plot.

If Jacksonville holds onto that 19-point lead, this line is Chargers -1.5, tops. The result swung perception, not reality.

- Jacksonville has beaten this team outright twice in a row.

This matchup has been friendly to them. Tempo, spacing, and Lawrence’s quick-game rhythm all stress the soft spots of the Chargers’ zone looks.

- Finally, yes — mental stability matters.

Everyone trusts Harbaugh’s culture, and no one trusts the Jags’. But that’s why you’re catching the key number instead of laying it. Jacksonville isn’t the picture of emotional wellness, but they’re absolutely capable of going toe-to-toe with a Chargers team that’s being valued like they’ve solved all their problems overnight.

This is a classic “sell the Sunday night darling, buy the team the public refuses to forgive.”
