The Philadelphia Eagles have lost two straight games and all of a sudden are in danger of losing their lead on the NFC East if things continue to go south for them in the final stretch of the season. They have another tough matchup ahead of them in Week 14 when they take on the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football.

The Chargers are also clinging to a playoff berth, and with several teams right on their heels, every game from here on out is going to be pivotal for their postseason hopes.

Let's dive into the odds and my best bet for this interconference prime-time showdown.

Eagles vs. Chargers Key Player to Watch

  • Jalen Hurts, QB - Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles' offense needs to find a way to get the ball moving, and at the end of the day, it all comes back to Jalen Hurts, who is averaging just 209.5 passing yards per game this season. He has thrown two interceptions, but not turning the ball over isn't good enough to lead the Eagles back to the Super Bowl. He needs to start playing better in a hurry.

Eagles vs. Chargers Prediction and Pick

In this week's edition of the Road to 272 Bets, I broke down why I'm taking the points with the Chargers at home:

It's time to jump off the sinking ship that is the Philadelphia Eagles. Their offense is broken, and their defense isn't able to continually carry them through games. The Bears may have found the key to beating the Eagles last week, which is simply running the ball straight at them. That's something the Chargers should be able to do with success. Justin Herbert is expected to play on Monday night despite injuring his non-throwing hand in Week 13.

Until the Eagles can prove that they can turn things around, I'm going to bet against them.
