How to bet on Los Angeles Chargers in 2023

There are several ways how to bet on Los Angeles Chargers online. Some markets are, however, suited for experienced players. Also, individuals must be aware that each online bookie has varying betting odds.

Moneyline

The money line is the most basic of bets at every online sports betting site. The market is determined by the game's straight-up winner and loser. Players will have to place a bet of $105 to win a hundred dollars plus the original stake back. For instance, when Los Angeles Chargers are given -105 against the Cowboys’ +100, the Chargers are slight favorites in this encounter (-105).

The Cowboys are the underdogs in this game, with a potential payout of $200 for a $100 wager and $100 in winners. Money line betting makes no difference in how much one team wins or loses; the payoff remains the same.

Over-Under

The over/under line established by the bookmakers is the point total. Like prop betting, this figure predicts how many points will be scored overall in a game and is used to determine if the points tally will exceed or fall below a predefined point total.

Despite their outstanding rookie quarterback, the Chargers' offense and defense were extremely middle-of-the-pack, resulting in average game points. In Chargers games, projected point totals ranged between 49 and 53 points, depending on the opponent.

Against the Spread

The point spread predicts how many points a team will prevail or fall. For instance, the Chargers are given +6.5 points (-110) against the Cardinals at -6.5 (-110). Los Angeles will be the 6.5-point underdog in this case, as represented by "-6.5."

If the Chargers win by seven points or more, the Chargers (+6.5) win the bet and earn a total payout of $19.09 on a $10 bet ($9.09 profit). If the Cardinals win by more than 6 points, their (-6.5) will win, and the payout will be the same as stated above.

Other Wagers

Players can stack their wagers to parlays or teasers at any time. Teasers function similarly to parlays, except players can shift each point spread to a more favorable line in return for cheaper odds at the sportsbook online. Multiple teams may typically be parlayed to victory or cover the spread; the rewards are doubled when all predictions are successful.

Futures are long-term wagers stretching from the offseason to the entire season or beyond. Common futures include team victory totals, award winners, and player performance.

The Chargers have had great players representing them over the years. They made a big trade for stud pass rusher Khalil Mack and signed All-Pro corner J.C. Jackson. The offensive line was also addressed, with the team selecting All-American Zion Johnson with their first-round pick.

Justin Herbert

Herbert needed only two seasons to establish himself as a quality NFL quarterback, and he helped L.A. become one of the league's most potent offenses. He has steadily improved in each of his two pro seasons, and more improvements could be on the way in year three. The athlete is now ranked among the top names on online sportsbook NFL MVP betting boards.

J.C. Jackson

Jackson has played as a cornerback with the club since joining after his rookie contract expired in 2022. He attended Maryland and signed as an undrafted free agent with the New England Patriots in 2018. The player was named to the Pro Bowl during the 2021 season and was among the Patriots' Super Bowl LIII championship team.

The Chargers play in the National Football League and other leagues. They won the AFL championship in 1963 and progressed to the AFL postseason five times and the AFL Championship game four times before entering the NFL.

The Chargers have recorded 13 playoff games and four outings to the AFC Finals. In 1994, the Chargers won their first and only AFC championship before slipping to the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XXXIX.

The squad missed the playoffs the previous season, but there is confidence that the team will leap this season. The Chargers took a significant step toward improving their defense in March when they traded a pair of draft picks to the Chicago Bears for Khalil Mack.

The team signed J.C. Jackson and Sebastian Joseph while losing Uchenna Nwosu and Justin Jones during free agency. Los Angeles also extended the contract of talented wideout Mike Williams.

Overall, the Chargers' excitement may be justified, given the defense was upgraded and the offense's quality level remains strong. The team selected OG Zion Johnson with the 17th choice in round one of the NFL draft. The Bears received the team's second-round pick in exchange for Mack, while S J.T. Woods was selected in round three.
