Bengals vs Chargers: Sunday Night Football picks and open thread

Sunday Night Football kicks off tonight at 8:20 p.m. EST as the Los Angeles Chargers host the Cincinnati Bengals at SoFi Stadium.

The Chargers are 1.5-point favorites, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, and the total is 47.5 points.

It’s a heavyweight battle between Justin Herbert and Joe Burrow, two of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. They were top-six picks in the 2020 NFL Draft and rank top-five in passer rating entering Sunday.

Burrow against the Chargers defense will be especially exciting to watch. L.A. has one of the best pass defenses by efficiency metrics, but they’ve also faced a weak schedule.
