In contrast to recent weeks, the Monday Night showdown in week six promises an exciting contest between two NFL Super Bowl contenders. The Los Angeles Chargers, with a 2-2 record, will face the 3-2 Dallas Cowboys in a game that could swing in either team’s favor. Here are our top predictions for this game.
Los Angeles Chargers vs Dallas Cowboys preview
The Chargers have been on a hot streak in recent weeks, winning two consecutive games before their bye week. This resurgence salvaged their season after losing the first two games. On the other hand, the Cowboys had a strong start to their campaign but stumbled, losing two of their last three games. Defensive injuries have played a significant role in their recent struggles, and this will be a lingering issue. The Chargers possess a highly talented offense that can exploit the weaknesses in the Cowboys’ defense, potentially securing a significant victory on Monday night.
Los Angeles Chargers +2.5
Austin Ekeler Anytime Touchdown Scorer
The odds on this line may be affected by Ekeler’s recent return from injury. However, he has had ample time to recover, and indications are that he won’t be restricted. In week one, Ekeler accumulated 164 total yards and scored a touchdown before getting injured. The veteran running back has consistently scored at least 18 touchdowns in each of the last two seasons, and he is poised to return to his touchdown-scoring form in this game.

Tony Pollard Over 66.5 Rushing Yards
Dallas Cowboys’ star running back, Tony Pollard, has been somewhat disappointing in the last two weeks, but he is expected to bounce back in this game. In those previous two weeks, the Cowboys either won by over 30 points or suffered a similar margin of defeat, resulting in a reduced workload for Pollard to avoid injury. This game is anticipated to be much closer, and it will involve a weak Chargers rush defense. Consequently, Pollard should see more action compared to recent weeks and return to his early-season form when he exceeded this rushing yardage total for three consecutive weeks.
