The Philadelphia Eagles will travel to the West Coast for a Monday Night Football game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Philadelphia leads the NFC East with an 8-4 record, and they can breathe a little easier after the Dallas Cowboys lost to the Detroit Lions on Thursday. Los Angeles is also 8-4, but they are second in the AFC West and fighting for a Wild Card spot.
The most important factor in this match will be the snail’s pace at which both teams want to play. The Chargers currently rank 27th in the NFL in seconds per play (30.6) this season. The Eagles rank 31st in the same category (31.0).
These are two of the slowest teams in the NFL, and they will look to control the clock and limit their opponent. Both teams were equally successful in this aspect, and it doesn’t matter which team has the ball. We are going to have an extremely slow game in all respects.

These are two teams that have struggled offensively throughout the season. Los Angeles ranks 21st in the league in points (0.359) per game this season. They’re averaging just 23.1 points per game and they’ve been slightly better at home.
Philadelphia has been the best offense overall thus far, but they are no longer at the top of the NFL. Overall, they rank 12th in the league in points (.388) per game. They only average 22.5 points per game, and that number drops slightly on the road.
The Chargers have struggled defensively this season, but they remain relatively average, and that’s the key. They also performed well in points allowed (21.0) per game due to their ability to control the ball.
The Eagles have been a much better defense. They rank top 10 in most categories and are coming off an embarrassing game against the Chicago Bears. Overall, they are also allowing just 20.8 points per game this season.
These are two teams that have had more success defensively than offensively this season. Both teams will look to limit their opponents by controlling the clock and wasting time. We should see limited play overall, giving the under an advantage here.
