Los Angeles Chargers vs Cleveland Browns - NFL prediction

Details:

The Los Angeles Chargers are hosting the Cleveland Browns on Sunday in a battle of 3-1 AFC teams.

The Chargers have won two straight since a Week 2 loss to the Cowboys. This will be their second home game in a row after they defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 28-14 last week.

The Chargers started last season 3-9 and look like a completely different team managing to defeat last year’s runner-up Kansas City Chiefs on the road.

Justin Herbert is putting himself in the MVP conversation and should remain there if he continues to play the way he has.

The Browns have won three straight since their Week 1 loss to the Chiefs.

Coach Kevin Stefanski led the team to victories against Houston, Chicago and Minnesota and now has won 15 games in two seasons with the Browns which is one more than the three previous Cleveland coaches combined.

The Chargers and Browns are ranked 12th and 13th, respectively, in offensive yards this season.

The Chargers are sixth in passing yards and the Browns first in rushing yards.

Key facts

• The Browns rank at the top of the NFL with 708 rushing yards, averaging 5.1 yards per carry
• Cleveland has gone 1-9 in its last 10 trips to play games west of the Rockies
• The Chargers have won 8 of their last 11 games
• The Chargers have won 3 of their last 4 against the Browns
• The Chargers lead the all-time series against the Browns – 17-9

The Chargers have scored eight touchdowns in the last two games and more of them will come on Sunday at SoFi Stadium. They are playing the Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots in the next two games so they will definitely use this one to add another victory to their record.

Herbert and the offense can score any type of way and don’t seem to be slowing down any time soon.
