Line analysis: Can the Chargers cover?

The line market has Seattle laying -6.5 points at $1.85, with Los Angeles getting a +6.5 point head start at $1.95. Getting a 6.5-point start is a big tick for the visiting side given recent form lines.

Seattle's most recent outing ended in a 9–9 draw, and their previous start was a narrow three-point loss (16–19 against Tennessee). They haven't been winning by huge margins, making a 6.5-point line line a substantial spread. With the Chargers already holding a 1-0 record away from home, backing Los Angeles at +6.5 rates a real chance of staying inside the handicap.
