Chargers heavily favored over Dolphins in NFL expert predictions for Week 6

The Los Angeles Chargers will be away this week to take on the Miami Dolphins. Do the Bolts need a win now more than ever, as they dropped their last two games and now hold a slim lead in the AFC West. The Denver Broncos are right on their tail and take on the 0-5 New York Jets this week.

The Chargers should come away with a win this week but it won't come easy. Not due to their opponent, as the Dolphins haven't looked great with their 1-4 record. Their lone win came against the aforementioned Jets. It won't come easy due to the Chargers' lengthy injury list, with rookie Omarion Hampton out for four weeks and Joe Alt still missing time with an ankle sprain among others.

This will be the 38th all-time matchup between the Chargers and Dolphins, with Miami holding a 20-17 lead. Their last matchup came in 2023, when the Dolphins won 36-34. The Chargers' last win against Miami came the year prior, a 23-17 victory.
