Los Angeles Chargers at Buffalo Bills Predictions, Odds and Betting Picks
Jesse M. Cox Published 21/09/2026
The Buffalo Bills are listed as 7-point home favorites against the Los Angeles Chargers, with a -270 moneyline and a 50.5-point total at the supplied sportsbook. Buffalo has scored 38.5 points per game through two games, while Los Angeles is averaging only 14 points, creating a clear gap in early-season production.
Josh Allen has also opened the season with 582 passing yards, 5 touchdowns and no interceptions. Those numbers give Buffalo the stronger quarterback profile entering a matchup where the Bills have also produced 7 sacks and a +2 turnover differential. Those factors are central to the NFL Picks for this game and provide the foundation for the NFL predictions below.
Chargers vs Bills Game Preview
The Bills enter at 2-0 after scoring 36 points against Houston and 41 against Detroit. Allen has completed 66.7% of his passes for 582 yards, while Justin Herbert has 209 passing yards, 1 touchdown and 1 interception for the 0-1 Chargers. Those numbers will be central to the NFL predictions for this matchup.
Los Angeles has managed 289 yards per game and has a -4 turnover differential, compared with Buffalo's 427.5 yards and +2 margin. Ladd McConkey has 82 receiving yards, while Dalton Kincaid has 225, and the Chargers are dealing with several defensive and offensive players on the injury report. Buffalo is also coming off a Thursday game, giving the Bills extra preparation time before Sunday's matchup.
Chargers vs Bills Moneyline Pick
Take the Buffalo Bills moneyline at -270. Allen has thrown for 582 yards with 5 touchdowns and no interceptions, while Herbert has 209 yards, 1 touchdown and 1 interception. Buffalo also holds a 38.5-to-14 advantage in points per game, making the home favorite the stronger side in the NFL Picks market.
The Bills have added 289 rushing yards through two games, led by James Cook III with 192 yards on 34 carries. Buffalo's defense has also recorded 7 sacks, while Los Angeles has only 3 and owns a -4 turnover differential. At -270, the price is steep, but Buffalo's production advantage covers both sides of the ball.
Pick: Bills ML (-270 at DraftKings).
Against the Spread Pick
Take Buffalo Bills -7. The key issue at this number is margin, and Buffalo has already posted wins by 5 and 10 points while averaging 38.5 points per game. Los Angeles has scored only 14 points and has generated 289 total yards, leaving little room for offensive improvement against a Bills defense with 7 sacks.
The spread is set at the key number of 7, so a one-touchdown win would push. Buffalo's +2 turnover margin versus Los Angeles' -4 supports more possessions and a wider margin, strengthening these NFL predictions and Expert betting tips for NFL games.

Chargers vs Bills Game Total Pick
Take Under 50.5 points. Los Angeles is averaging 14 points per game and only 289 yards, while Herbert has produced 209 passing yards with 1 touchdown and 1 interception. The Chargers also average just 27:23 in time of possession, which limits their number of offensive opportunities.
Buffalo's offense is the clear threat to this total, with 38.5 points and 427.5 yards per game. However, the Chargers' offensive output has been low enough that Buffalo would need to do most of the scoring to push this game above 50.5. The weather forecast also calls for mild conditions around 64°F to 66°F with northwest winds of 8 to 10 mph and only a 15% chance of rain, so the Under case is based on Los Angeles' production rather than weather.
