Cleveland Browns vs LA Chargers Prediction

The LA Chargers should win this Game given the gap in talent, but their offense continues to struggle, and it makes me cautious backing them on the road. The Cleveland Browns are coming off a massive upset of the Ravens and the switch to Winston at quarterback, appears to have injected some confidence in the locker room. Winston’s energy just gives off positive vibes, and it could lead to some more upsets if teams aren’t careful. The Chargers are 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 Games as a favorite. Give me the Browns and the points.
