Another one of the Week 4 NFL picks the model is extremely high on: the Chargers (-10.5) have no problem covering a double-digit spread against the 49ers in a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff on Sunday.
It's back to the drawing board for the 49ers, who just lost star quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ACL) for the year and will also be without cornerback Richard Sherman(calf) against a strong Chargers passing attack.
Don't be deceived by the 1-2 record for Los Angeles because their two defeats came against the Rams and Chiefs, two of the top teams in the league. Meanwhile, the 49ers are 0-3 against the spread this season with a point differential of -5.3. The model projects new 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard to throw for under 200 yards and an interception as the Chargers cover the spread almost 55 percent of the time.
