Commanders vs. Chargers Odds & Betting Predictions - October 5, 2025

Week 5 Lookahead: In my study of 3-0 teams this week, I came away pretty impressed by the Chargers. LA is 3-0, all within its division, and the Chargers were pretty dominant in each of those games. Washington, on the other hand, has felt aggressively mid. Just look at the quarterbacks. One is playing like an MVP right now, and the other one is barely playing at all. Jayden Daniels got hurt Week 1 and hasn't played since, and there's no guarantee he plays this one either, along with go-to WR Terry McLaurin. Washington has injuries all over the place. Will Harris is the only good safety on the roster. Veternans Jonathan Jones and Deatrich Wise are missing on the defense. Sam Cosmi has yet to play on the offensive line. These absences all add up, especially against a better team. Look at how the weekend may play out. The Commanders are in Atlanta and may not be healthy, with plenty of sharps on Atlanta. If Washington loses and drops to 2-2 while the Chargers run up the score on Jaxson Dart and the Giants en route to 4-0, there's no way this line stays below the key number. Jim Harbaugh is an incredible 80% ATS for his NFL career as a favorite of under six points, and there's still no more valuable key number than three. Grab Chargers -2.5 while it's available on the right side of the number.
