NFL odds, picks, as well as tips for the Chargers vs. Jets game
The total is better than the spread here. Jets games do tend to have low scores, but in six out of seven games this season, the Chargers have had over 40.5 points.
The Los Angeles defensive hasn’t been very good this year—it’s ranked 27th in DVOA—which is part of the problem.
I think both the Jets and the Chargers will be able to shift the ball a little, so I’m going in over 40.5.
I think the Jets (+3.5) will win this game and cover the spread. The Jets play at their own stadium, and the San Diego Chargers are on their way from the Western Coast towards the East Coast.
The Jets’ defense has proven good this season. They are ninth in the NFL in run-stop victory rate and fifth in passing yards allowed per game.
New York will be ready to play against teams from other states. I believe that this game will be very close.
The Chargers have a record of 12-8-1 against the spread as they are the favorite on the road since they moved to Los Angeles.
Monday night football is the last game of Week 9 in the 2023 NFL season. The Los Angeles Chargers will go to New York to play the soaring Jets.

There have been 23 regular season games between the Chargers and the Jets, and the Chargers have won all four of them. Even though he hurt his knee, Jets receiver Allen Lazard remains fully active.

Even though QB Justin Herbert has had a great season and the Chargers’ offense is flying, they are not outside of second place within the AFC West.
All season, their defense has been bad, giving up 24 points per game, which is the 23rd most in the NFL.
After the Buffalo Bills lost to the Cincinnati Bengals on “Sunday Night Football,” the Jets have a chance to take second place in the AFC East from the favorite Bills.
The Chargers beat the Chicago Bears 30–13 last week. Austin Ekeler, the star halfback, was having a bad season until that game.
Getting hurt was common for him, and after coming back from one, he hadn’t scored in three games.
But Ekeler found his rhythm in last week’s game, when he caught seven passes for 94 yards and a touchdown.
A lot of people think that the Chargers will use Ekeler out of their backfield in tonight’s MNF game because the Jets’ defense is one of the strongest in the NFL.
