The Los Angeles Chargers (7-6) play the Tennessee Titans (7-6) at SoFi Stadium on 18th December in Week 15 of the NFL. The two squads enter the matchup with identical records, having bagged seven wins and six defeats in 13 games apiece. The Los Angeles Chargers proved they’re still worthy of being a Super Bowl contender with a 23-17 win over the Miami Dolphins, and they are favorites (-150) to take another win against Tennessee Titans.

Form Los Angeles Chargers

The Los Angeles Chargers are 7-6 for the season and their latest match against the Miami Dolphins finished 23-17, leaving them 6-4 across their past 10 games and 2-3 in the last five at home.

The Los Angeles Chargers continue to put up decent numbers in offense, managing 22.2 points in their last five matches. Considering their season average is 22.7 points, this suggests the offensive unit is consistent. The art of defending isn’t something the visitors excel in though. By allowing 25.1 points per game, their defense has been below average compared to the rest of the league this year.

The Los Angeles Chargers began the year backed as a threat for the AFC Championship. While it’s still early days, the hosts remain on course to reach this target. They hold the seventh seed in the AFC Conference and will seek to both maintain and improve their seeding as the regular season winds down.

Form Tennessee Titans

A 22-36 defeat last week against Jacksonville Jaguars extended the losing streak of the Tennessee Titans to three matches. It also brought their overall record for the past 10 games down to 6-4.

The Tennessee Titans bring an offense that has struggled to click into gear this season, putting up just 18.5 points per game. A middle-of-the-pack defense is what the Tennessee Titans have to offer ahead of their latest road trip, with 21.2 points allowed in the regular season and 23.6 points given up in the last five matches.

As the reigning AFC South champions, a successful title defense is a priority for the Tennessee Titans right now. By doing so, they’ll seal a playoff spot and a more favorable tie at home. They currently rank first in the division and fourth in the AFC Conference.
