The Chargers' odds entering Week 3 against the Bills shifted drastically after their Week 2 loss to the Raiders.
Chargers have opened as a 7-point road underdog against the Bills. Prior to the Chargers' loss to the Raiders, it was set at +2.5.
Los Angeles will be underdogs for the first time this season, and it's a huge deficit. The Chargers will hit the road for the first time this season, and it won't be an easy task.
On all three phases, the Chargers have been flat and have looked lost for most of the eight quarters they've played so far.
The offense has failed to be a competent unit through the first two games, and the same could be said for the defense and special teams.
That's not exactly how many envisioned the Chargers looking after two games,
and it's an especially concerning sign with a Bills team that has looked dominant through the first two weeks looming next.
Through two games, the Bills have averaged 38.5 points per game, recording 77 points in 60 minutes of action.
The defense has not played up to par, allowing 31 points per game.
The Chargers offense has a golden opportunity to get their offense on track against a Bills defense that ranks 27th in total defense.
This is the 14th time the Chargers have started the season 0-2. They've made the playoffs only twice.
The last time they started 0-2 was in 2023, when they finished 5-12 and fired Brandon Staley in the process.
