Chargers @ Seahawks

Graham Tiedtke 

The Los Angeles Chargers head to Seattle to challenge the Seahawks in the second AFC West-NFC West battle of the week. Seattle has lost three games this season but only by twelve points combined.

Chargers quarterback Phillip Rivers has thrown seventeen touchdowns to just three interceptions so far this season while Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has thrown sixteen touchdowns to just four interceptions.

I think the Chargers have more weapons on offense. They have a top running back in Melvin Gordon and a solid wide receiver in Mike Williams. They also have a guy you all know about at the tight end position: Antonio Gates.

This should be a close game with Los Angeles coming out on top.

This week, the (5-2) LA Chargers play the (4-3) Seattle Seahawks at Century Link Field.

The Chargers are desperately trying to keep pace with the Chiefs in the AFC West, and surprisingly, despite the Chiefs being 7-1, the division is still very much up for grabs.

The Seahawks are by no means a team to be feared anymore, but if you don’t show up to play, especially in Seattle, they will bite.

With a very solid defense, it’s going to be up to Philip Rivers to lead the charge to break the Seahawks defense. If the Chargers can stuff the Seahawk run game, they can leave Seattle 7-2. I’m going to take LA in this one.
