Buffalo Bills @ Los Angeles Chargers: Vegas Line, Weather, Predictions
By Connor Price
At 4:05 on Sunday the Buffalo Bills will kickoff week 11 against the Los Angeles Chargers
The Buffalo Bills are currently 5.5 point underdogs to the Los Angeles Chargers, per SportsBookReview.com. According to said sports book, there is more money being placed on Los Angeles to cover than on Buffalo against the spread.
Vegas Odds:
Buffalo Bills vs. Los Angeles Chargers (-5.5)
Over/Under: 41 points
The Buffalo Bills are one week removed from a blowout loss to the New Orleans Saints. 298 rushing yards were surrendered in the loss, and just about nothing went right for the Buffalo Bills. The game was so bad in fact, that the coaching staff decided to make a quarterback change. Goodbye Tyrod Taylor, and hello Nathan Peterman.
The Los Angeles Chargers are currently 3-6 and in third place of the AFC West.
Buffalo has rattled off two losses in a row, and are entering a tougher part of the schedule. It is important to remember that the Bills have yet to face the New England Patriots. Have to take it one week at a time, and this week they travel to Los Angeles to face a Chargers team that has a fierce defense.

FiveThirtyEight, a respected sports analytics site gives the Buffalo Bills a 46% chance to win this game. FiveThirtyEight narrowed the spread, but still gave the edge to the Los Angeles Chargers (-1).
Nathan Peterman will see his first NFL start on Sunday, and will do so against a tough Los Angeles defense. My prediction: The Buffalo Bills fall to the Los Angeles Chargers 28-16.
