NFL picks and predictions 2013, Cowboys vs. Chargers

The Chargers need a bounce back win after last week’s last-minute loss, but most predictions say the victory won’t come against the Cowboys.

The San Diego Chargers swallowed a bitter last-minute loss against the Titans in Week 3, and according to most of the pundits on the Internet, they won't be bouncing back against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4.

Even though the Chargers are at home, experts have taken note of the team’s flaws. Over at CBS Sports, seven of nine picks favor the Cowboys. At ESPN, it doesn’t get much better with 11 of 14 picks favoring the Cowboys. Only the folks at SB Nation have any love for San Diego, with two of the five editorial experts choosing the Chargers.

The odds opened favorably for the Chargers with a 1.5 edge, according to Oddsshark.com. Those odds only held for so long, however, as the odds flipped and the Cowboys are currently favored by one to two points.
