Would love to tell you how or why I am 4-0 this preseason, but I have no earthly idea. I mean, I'm not just flipping coins here or asking Snoopy which mascot to bark at. Simply hope to have at least one 4-0 run in the regular season. But money spends regardless doesn't it? No real insight here other than I don't believe any NFL home team should be getting this many points in Week 2 of the preseason. Yeah, it's the Chargers' home field too. But the Rams you wouldn't think would lie down to a city/in-building rival. Stetson Bennett looked good in Week 1 under center. I'm completely fine with pushing and no interest playing +6.5 like most books have currently.

This spread shot up with the news that QB Justin Herbert’s request to play for the first time ever in preseason was granted. Fellow starters will be sprinkled in. However, they likely will be lifted after one or two series. The Chargers must fill a gaping hole at left OT, with Rashawn Slater done for the season. Coach Sean McVay is notoriously unconcerned about exhibition game outcomes, but the Rams did roll over Dallas last week. Bottom line: Lines rarely get this large in August.
