Los Angeles suffered a 38-10 loss to Jacksonville as Justin Herbert played through a fractured rib cartilage, but the Chargers will be better prepared this week with more knowledge of how to handle the situation and Herbert has been upgraded to a full participant in practice. Fortunately. the Chargers get the Texans this week and they are allowing 410 total offense yards while their offense is fourth-worst in the league with 287.3 yards per game. Davis Mills went 20-for-32 for 245 yards with two interceptions in Houston's 23-20 loss to Chicago while the Bears ran roughshod over the Texans defense and totaled 281 rushing yards. Houston is 0-4-1 straight up dating to last season and it is averaging just 16.3 points this year. The Chargers are in revenge after losing a key game to Houston in late December and they are 11-3 ATS after a double-digit home loss. The Texans are 3-8 ATS their past 11 October games and 7-3 UNDER its last 10 games versus the AFC. Los Angeles has stayed UNDER eight of its past 10 after scoring fewer than 15 points its previous game and it can use a lot of clock running on Houston's weak run defense. Take the Chargers and the UNDER.
