Chargers vs. Bengals NFL Week 11 Betting Lines

Los Angeles Chargers NFL Week 11 Betting Lines

The Los Angeles Chargers executed their Week 10 game plan smoothly, building an early double-digit lead and shutting down their opponent with another suffocating performance from the defense. This approach led them to a 27-17 victory and an NFL spread cover over the Tennessee Titans, marking the team’s sixth win of the season. While the overall box score battle played pretty evenly, it was the Chargers ability to get to the quarterback and score touchdowns in the red zone that set the teams apart. Bud Dupree and Tuli Tuipulotu combined for four of LA’s seven overall quarterback sacks, while Justin Herbert played to a 123.2 QB rating by way of completing 14 of 18 passes for a measly 164 yards and pair of touchdown strikes upping his ante to 11 for the NFL betting season to go along with just one errant pass. The improvement of this squad is tangible with the new coaching staff in tow. Jim Harbaugh has already proven to be a success whisperer in the past, and that’s once again the case through nine played games. However, LA’s taken full advantage of being the beneficiary of running up against a fourth place schedule after bringing up the rear of the AFC West standings a season ago. Of its nine played opponents faced to date, a grand total of three teams currently sport +.500 records. No, the Cincinnati Bengals aren’t a winning ball club, but keep in mind they’re all of 10 points away from being an 8-win team themselves with gut-wrenching defeats incurred against the Ravens (twice), Chiefs, and Commanders. Tonight my friends will be a true litmus test for the homebased Chargers!

The Los Angeles Chargers' odds of winning Super Bowl LIX and the AFC shortened up with the former moving from 40-1 to 35-1 and the latter 15-1 from 20-1 after logging their sixth win and NFL spread cover of the campaign. Though Kansas City remained undefeated and already owns the tiebreaker, their odds to win the AFC West slimmed down with a $100 investment now paying back $1500 after paying out 16-1 the week prior. LA’s adjusted win total odds remained a season-high 10.5 with heavier juice sticking to the under. Additionally, the Bolts odds to make the playoffs got noticeably shorter with the “Yes” now -650 after requiring a $400 investment to make $100, and the “No” up to +450 after closing +300 the previous week.

Los Angeles Chargers Week 11 Matchup

On Sunday, November 17, 2024, the Cincinnati Bengals will take on the Los Angeles Chargers from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA. Kickoff time for Sunday Night Football is set for 8:20 p.m. ET with television coverage on NBC. The lookahead NFL Week 11 betting lines hit the board with the Chargers laying 1.5-points and the Over/Under (O/U) set at 43. Customers betting on the NFL with cryptocurrency don’t seem to be buying into the Chargers reversal of fortune heading into this matchup evidenced by the home team only being supported with 36 percent of the bets and money forcing a market correction down to 1. LA has however been excellent in the home chalk role to date having won and covered in each of the three instances against the Raiders (-3), Saints (-8), and Titans (-8.5) with the under cashing in three times and 34.3 points scored on average. The under would’ve paid out in all four had the defense not served up a charity score to the Titz in the final minute last week. Regardless, total bettors appear very bullish of these teams denting the board with copious amounts of points with the O/U up four full points to 47 and 90+ percent of the total handle booked expecting a barnburner to play out.

Los Angeles Chargers Week 10 Recap

The Los Angeles Chargers secured their third consecutive victory and NFL spread victory in Week 10, beating the Tennessee Titans 27-17 to improve to 6-3 both SU and ATS, their best start since 2018. Justin Herbert led the offense with a touchdown pass and a rushing touchdown, completing 14 of 18 passes for 164 yards and rushing for 32 yards. Herbert now joins elite company, being the first quarterback since Philip Rivers in 2018 to achieve a passer rating of at least 90 in each of the first nine games. The Chargers’ defense dominated, recording seven sacks and holding the Titans to 17 points with the final seven of the window dressing variety coming in the game’s closing minute. This defensive unit has been outstanding all season, allowing an average of just 13.1 points per game (No. 1), and keeping opponents to 20 points or fewer in each of the first nine games—a feat not achieved since the 2013 Kansas City Chiefs. Despite a strong opening for Tennessee, which saw Will Levis connect with Calvin Ridley for two touchdowns, the Chargers' steady game flow and a decisive reversal of a Herbert fumble were pivotal. Herbert's 16-yard touchdown pass to Quentin Johnston in the third quarter extended the lead, and Hassan Haskins’ 1-yard rush capped an 11-play, 95-yard drive, sealing the Chargers’ victory.

2024 Los Angeles Chargers Schedule, Results & Record

Founded in 1960 as charter members of the American Football League, the Los Angeles Chargers moved to San Diego in 1961. Barron Hilton, an heir to the famous hotel chain, was the original owner. He named the team the Chargers after his credit card company that was aligned to his hotels and restaurants. The early Chargers were the power of the American Football League. Their marquee man was Hall of Fame receiver Lance “Bambi” Alworth. Head coach Sid Gilman was a pioneer in passing game development. The Chargers played in the first two AFL championship games, losing both. Finally, they won the 1963 AFL championship. After losing the AFL championship game in the next two years, the Chargers went into a long period of darkness.

But head coach Don Coryell and quarterback Dan Fouts led a franchise resurgence in the early 1980s. Following that was another long period of losing. The Chargers made their only Super Bowl appearance in the 1995 season, losing to the 49ers. From 2004 through 2018, the Chargers made the playoffs seven times. For most of those years, the quarterback was Philip Rivers, who could never get the Chargers to the Super Bowl. Finally, after years of futility in trying to get a new stadium built, the Chargers returned to LA from San Diego in 2017.

Since then, the franchise has not won a division title and has only made it to the postseason twice, largely due to poor coaching and an inability to stay healthy. With Jim Harbaugh taking over as head coach for the 2024-25 season and the roster undergoing a strategic overhaul, there is renewed hope that the team can compete with the Kansas City Chiefs and become a Super Bowl contender.
