Lorenzo Reyes: Chargers 27, Seahawks 24
Los Angeles is hoping Keenan Allen can return. His presence would make a difference for the offense. But Seattle has shown its offense can keep games close and can win them when called upon. Geno Smith’s efficiency goes a long way and even though starting running back Rashaad Penny went down with a broken leg, Kenneth Walker stepped right up. And the defense is aggressive enough to force turnovers, so I like Seattle to cover the spread.
Safid Deen: Chargers 28, Seahawks 20
Justin Herbert and the Chargers should be beating teams by a lot more, but are still finding a way despite their injured stars like Joey Bosa, Rashawn Slater and Kennan Allen. Still, they have enough talent to beat Geno Smith and the pesky Seahawks.
Lance Pugmire: Chargers 30, Seahawks 20
Geno Smith certainly would like to put it in the face of the team that gave up on him, but Keenan Allen should be back for Justin Herbert here, and barring another Jacksonville-type implosion by the Chargers’ defense, expect this one to go to the home team.
