Buffalo enters at 2-0 with 38.5 points per game and 427.5 yards per game, powered by a balanced attack that averages 283.0 passing yards and 144.5 rushing yards. The Bills are also generating takeaways and have a positive turnover margin, while their defense is allowing 31.0 points and 368.0 yards per game. Los Angeles is 0-2 and averaging just 14.0 points per game, with 185.0 passing yards and 104.0 rushing yards per game. The Chargers have been loose with the football, sitting at minus-four in turnover margin, and their defense is giving up 26.0 points and 349.0 yards per game. Buffalo has been the sharper side overall, but the gap in recent defensive production is narrower than the records alone suggest.
Buffalo should control much of the game at home, but the spread appears a touch inflated for a team laying a full touchdown against an opponent with enough defensive resistance to keep the score from getting out of hand. The Bills’ offense projects well enough to win, yet the Chargers’ side has value if the game stays within one-score range. Final projection: Buffalo Bills 31, Los Angeles Chargers 24.
