Odds and prop bets for Commanders' Week 5 clash against Chargers

The Washington Commanders are in a more precarious situation than most fans envisaged just four contests into the 2025 campaign. There is still a long way to go, but it's starting to look like reaching the NFC Championship game again will be a tall order.

Dan Quinn's squad is taking on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 5, who lost to the New York Giants last time out but have some dangerous weapons on both sides of the football. This is also the first NFL duel between Jayden Daniels and Justin Herbert, which only adds to the level of fascination coming into the collision.

The Commanders are dealing with injuries, but that's no excuse. Quinn knows they have to dig deep, demonstrate the correct resolve, and make things happen in key moments. If Washington can do that, they might have a shot.
