This game feels like the Chargers should roll at home. The Bears have a lot of injuries and four key players questionable. The Bears give up a lot of receptions to running backs and tight ends, which feeds right into the Chargers’ offense. We are still trying to figure out what type of player Tyson Bagent is, but when the Chargers faced the Raiders backup Aidan Oโ€™Connell in week 4, they held him to 238 yards and sacked him seven times.

UPDATES: LAC: TE G.Everett is OUT, WR J.Palmer is IN…. CHI: S Jaquan Brisker is OUT
