The Los Angeles Chargers will look to keep pace with first-place Kansas City in the AFC West standings with a fourth straight road victory when they visit the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football. Read on for an analysis of Chargers vs 49ers.

The Chargers enter NFL Week 10 action on a steady 3-1-0 straight up run after eking out a 20-17 win in Atlanta last weekend. The 49ers enjoyed a bye last weekend, and return to action in sole possession of second place in the NFC West.

The Seahawks have surged to 7-point favorites since opening as 6-point home chalk in the NFL odds. The total has been on the decline since opening at 47.5, dipping to 45.5.

Start time of Sunday night’s contest is set for 8:20pm ET at Levi’s Stadium. The game time weather forecast calls for partly cloudy skies with temperatures hovering in the mid-50s Fahrenheit.

Chargers vs 49ers Recent History

Sunday night’s matchup marks the first meeting between these teams in over four years, and the Chargers’ first visit to San Francisco since 2014.

The Chargers have dominated in head-to-head action, winning outright in five straight and covering in four of those contests, including each of their past two trips to Levi’s Stadium.

High scoring has been commonplace when these teams meet, with the total topping 50 in four of six matchups, powering a 4-2-0 run for the OVER. The two most recent meetings between these teams have been hard-fought, and have been settled by a combined margin of just five points.

Los Angeles Chargers Betting Outlook

The Chargers’ struggles to generate offense continued in last week’s narrow win over the Falcons. Once again this team stumbled out of the gate, spotting Atlanta an early 10-0 lead and failing to score in the first quarter for the fourth time in six outings.

Indeed, the Chargers’ power outage in the opening frame has emerged as a major concern, with the team averaging a meager two points in first-quarter action so far this season.

The team’s offensive struggles have not been helped by their continued battle against injury. Once again, the Chargers will have to make do without receivers Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, both of whom remain sidelined with hamstring and ankle injuries.

Accordingly, quarterback Justin Herbert will have to rely on his backfield for yet another week. That likely means another busy evening for running back Austin Ekeler, who ran for two scores last weekend and has accounted for 10 of this team’s past 13 touchdowns.

San Francisco 49ers Betting Outlook

While last week’s bye could not have come at a better time for the Niners, this team returns to action still dealing with injury woes. Among the Niners players spending time in the clinic are cornerback Jason Verrett, who landed on the injured reserved this week with a torn Achilles tendon that likely ends his season.

The squad will also be without defensive lineman Arik Armstead, who remains sidelined with a foot injury, and edge Samson Ebukam, who is listed as doubtful with a quad injury.

On offense, receiver Deebo Samuel found his way onto the injury report, but was a full participant at practice, clearing the way for his return after missing the team’s Week 8 win over the Rams with a hamstring injury.

Samuel’s return bolsters an impressive Niners receiving corps that has steadily produced. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has tossed for two touchdowns in each of his past four outings. He also connected with his favorite target Brandon Aiyuk three times over the past three games.

After studying the 49ers playbook over the past two weeks, recent addition Christian McCaffrey will be looking to build on an impressive performance in Atlanta, where he racked up two scores and 149 yards of total offense.

Chargers vs 49ers Prediction

Well-rested and healthy on offense, the 49ers are poised to end their losing streak against the injury-ravaged Chargers, who have struggled to generate points without the involvement of rusher Austion Ekeler.

The Pick: 49ers -7 (-112) – 1 unit
