Saints vs Chargers Picks and Prediction – 10/27/2024

SoFi Stadium will play host to a Sunday afternoon NFL battle between the New Orleans Saints and the Los Angeles Chargers. For other NFL news see our NFL Picks. The Saints (2-5) are in 3rd place in the NFC South division and rank 11th in the league in team points per game at 25.3 points. Last week, Javonte Williams rushed for two touchdowns, Cody Barton returned a fumble 52 yards for a score, and the Broncos beat the banged-up and reeling Saints 33-10 on Thursday night.

The Broncos out gained New Orleans 389 yards to 271 while sending the Saints to their fifth straight defeat. The Saints are ravaged with injuries missing two top receivers and two starting offensive linemen. Quarterback Spencer Rattler was 25 of 35 for 172 yards, rushed for 34 yards and lost two fumbles then got hurt. Four Saints players left with injuries during the game, two corners and one lineman.

The Los Angeles Chargers (3-3) lost to Arizona as Kyler Murray ran for a 44-yard touchdown and led the Cardinals on a drive that set up Chad Ryland's 32-yard field goal as time expired, and Arizona rallied for a 17-15 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night. It was a frustrating night for the Chargers' offense, which gained 395 yards but couldn't find the end zone. Justin Herbert completed 27 of 39 passes for 349 yards. Cameron Dicker booted field goals of 59, 50, 28, 47 and 40 yards, the first of which tied a franchise record for distance for the Chargers. Los Angeles fumbled away a pair of great opportunities early in the first quarter.

The New Orleans Saints have lost five games in a row and are riddled with injuries as their top two quarterbacks are hurt and not available to play. Third string quarterback Jake Haener will get the start for the Saints. The Saints already lost leading receiver Rashid Shaheed and Chris Olave is questionable to play Sunday. The Chargers are coming off a frustrating loss where they could only score field goals and lost the game with one second left. Los Angeles will be determined to bounce back from the loss and win this game at home. Final Score Prediction, Chargers win 26-13.
