The Falcons will travel to San Diego on Sunday to face the Chargers in a battle of 2-0 teams. While the Falcons have been impressive in their first two games, they are currently underdogs to the Chargers.

San Diego is a 1-1/2-point betting favorite and many of the top NFL experts are picking the Chargers to win. San Diego is a slight favorite among ESPN's NFL analysts, with six picking the Chargers and four picking the Falcons. Keyshawn Johnson, who correctly picked 12 of 16 games last week, is one of the analysts picking San Diego.

The Chargers are bigger favorites among CBS Sports experts with seven of eight picking San Diego. Will Brinson was the only CBS NFL expert to pick Atlanta. While the Falcons are underdogs on most sites, two of the three Yahoo! Sports NFL analysts picked Atlanta.
