Line: San Diego -1 at Washington — O/U 51
The Chargers have been one of the league’s most efficient offenses in the first half. Philip Rivers has found redemption completing 74% of his passes, while Ryan Matthews has gotten on track with back-to-back 100-yard weeks. Robert Griffin III is practicing in full after a knee scare at Denver; either way, the Chargers had a bye week to fully prepare for the read option. Washington is short at the safety position and it will be their undoing here.
Prediction: 27-21 San Diego
