Eagles-Chargers on Monday Night Football as Line Tightens, Herbert Expected to Play

Betting points to a tight, low-total contest, with Philadelphia narrowly favored and sharp money backing Los Angeles.

Overview

  • Kickoff is 8:15 p.m. ET at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, with the 8-4 Eagles visiting the 8-4 Chargers on ABC/ESPN.
  • Chargers QB Justin Herbert, who had surgery on his non-throwing left hand on Dec. 1, is listed questionable but is expected to play, and rookie RB Omarion Hampton is also questionable with optimism for a return.
  • Philadelphia enters on a two-game slide, while Los Angeles has won four of its last five, adding weight to late-season playoff positioning.
  • Books list the Eagles as small favorites (roughly -1.5 to -2.5) with totals in the low 40s, and sportsbooks report sharp action on Chargers +2.5 to +3 that nudged the spread down.
  • Models and previews project a close, modest-scoring game with interest in anytime-TD props for Saquon Barkley (around +105) and A. J. Brown as popular picks.
