Chargers vs Rams Preseason Betting Prediction

The Week 2 preseason matchup between the Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams offers more than just local bragging rights—it’s a statistical clash loaded with betting intrigue.

From a matchup perspective, the Chargers’ efficient passing game (10.98 yards per attempt) faces a stiff test against the Rams’ top-12 pass defense. Conversely, the Rams’ ground attack has an opportunity to exploit a Chargers defense ranked 28th against the run. Bettors will also want to consider game flow trends: while both teams have posted overs frequently, August preseason games have historically leaned under for the Rams, hitting in 12 of their last 18. With both squads bringing strong ATS records and offensive potential into the game, this Week 2 clash is shaping up to be one of the most compelling preseason matchups on the betting board.
