Odds are from FanDuel Sportsbook.
Cardinals vs. Chargers best prop bets
Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett OVER 217.5 passing yards (-113)
Considering Brissett averaged 280.5 yards per start last season, this feels easy. Yes, the Cardinals have a stronger rushing attack than last season, but
the Chargers will likely play from ahead, so the Cardinals will have to pass the ball.
Chargers RB Keaton Mitchell OVER 24.5 rushing yards (-113)
Mike McDaniel loves to utilize multiple backs in his running attack. Mitchell is a big-play threat, and that 25 yards could come in one play.
Chargers TE Charlie Kolar 3+ receptions (+200)
Kolar is the No. 1 tight end in the LA offense, and while he is primarily a blocker, he will get looks in the passing game. With +200 odds for only three catches, this is one you have to make.
Chargers EDGE Khalil Mack to record a sack (+124)
Mack will line up primarily against Cardinals right tackle Elijah Wilkinson. This should be an easy win with plus money.
Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett OVER 1.5 passing TDs (+154)
Brissett was almost a lock last season for two touchdown passes a game. And if the Cardinals are playing from behind, garbage time is a beautiful thing for this bet.
