Buffalo Bills vs. Los Angeles Chargers: Betting Odds and Stefon Diggs’ Comeback Story

Dec 22, 2023

The Buffalo Bills are set to face off against the struggling Los Angeles Chargers in what could be a lopsided matchup. The Bills are riding high, with a 12.5-point favoritism on the road in LA. The Chargers, on the other hand, are reeling from a disastrous final game where they surrendered a whopping 63 points to the Raiders.

This matchup also marks the first game since the firing of head coach Brandon Staley in Los Angeles. While some might expect a “new coach bump” to give the Chargers a fighting chance, it’s hard to see them overcoming this strong Bills team.

The odds seem heavily stacked against the Chargers, with few believing in their ability to pull off an upset. The Bills, meanwhile, are focused on securing a win, regardless of style points. They’ve already proven their mettle by defeating some of the top teams in the NFL recently.

One intriguing prop bet to consider for this game is Stefon Diggs going over 65.5 receiving yards. Diggs has been relatively quiet in recent weeks, but this matchup presents an opportunity for him to shine. The game will be played in a dome, ideal conditions for a passing game to flourish. If the Bills want to make a Super Bowl run, they need Diggs to step up and be the explosive playmaker he can be.

The Chargers’ secondary has shown vulnerabilities, and this game could be the perfect platform for Diggs to reassert himself as the Bills’ number-one receiving option. A performance with seven catches, over 100 yards, and a couple of touchdowns would send a strong message to the league that he’s back and ready for playoff action.

For Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who threw for under 100 yards in the previous game, this matchup offers a golden opportunity to fine-tune the passing game. With the playoffs on the horizon, Buffalo needs to regain its offensive prowess and head into the postseason as a red-hot team.

While the Chargers may hope for a resurgence under new coaching leadership, the odds favor the Buffalo Bills in this matchup. With a talented roster and a chance for Diggs to shine, the Bills have the tools to secure a convincing victory in LA. Keep an eye on Diggs as he looks to make a statement and propel the Bills toward a deep playoff run. Don’t hesitate to consider the Diggs prop bet for this game; it might just be the ticket to a lucrative wager.
