Prime-Time First TD Bets — Monday Night Football, Week 16
Alex Christenson
The Los Angeles Chargers visit the Houston Texans as the biggest road favorites on the Week 4 schedule. The Chargers are looking to get back on track against one of the NFL’s two remaining winless teams.
Los Angeles’ two-game losing streak has been highlighted by injuries to some of its most important players. Justin Herbert has remained under center while dealing with fractured rib cartilage. Left tackle Rashawn Slater is out for the season with a torn biceps, and edge rusher Joey Bosa is week-to-week with a significant groin injury. The Texans upset the Chargers as double-digit underdogs in Week 16 last season.
Let’s take a look at some key statistics and information about this matchup.
