The Chargers enter into Week 9 with their season on the line as the leaders of the AFC wildcard race (basically the entire AFC North) are stretching away and all of the Indianapolis Colts (-1)
, Houston Texans (+7) and Las Vegas Raiders (+2.5), all earned a win to move above the Bolts in the standings. This game will be absolutely pivotal and Brandon Staley’s men simply cannot afford to miss this opportunity to get back to .500 for the first time since Week 4. Joshua Palmer is the latest significant injury on the season and whilst it is a shame to see him land on injured reserve, the timing of Jalen Guyton’s return couldn’t be better to make up for his absence.
