Why the Los Angeles Chargers can win?

The Chargers will be playing their first game under the leadership of their interim head coach, Giff Smith. Last week, the biggest story was how the players gave up on Brandon Staley and didn’t want to play under him. Well, if that’s the case, the Chargers have a lot to play for in their crucial week 16 game.

They are on the edge of getting eliminated from the postseason and a win on Saturday could improve their odds slightly in the postseason race. If their star players had remarkable outings, they can tiny chance of winning the matchup. However, if the players fail, the Chargers might face another huge defeat in the ongoing season.

Why the Buffalo Bills can win?

The Bills are entering the week 16 game as a huge favorite and rightfully so. The Chargers will be playing under a new head coach, and a backup quarterback, and they will be playing without their number 1 and number 2 wide receiver. Besides, they will also be missing out on their best player in defense.

So, all the Bills have to do on Saturday is not shoot themselves in the leg. If the Bills can have a normal outing, they can secure a victory and extend their winning streak to 5 games this weekend.
