NFL Week 12: Los Angeles Chargers at Buffalo Bills odds, picks and predictions
In their second trip to the East Coast in the last three weeks, the Los Angeles Chargers travel across the country to visit the AFC East leading Buffalo Bills. This will be the third week in a row the Chargers face an opponent from the AFC East, and will play the New England Patriots next week.
The Chargers(3-7) defeated the New York Jets at home last week by the final margin of 34-28. To get the scoring started on the day for Los Angeles, Chargers CB Trevaughn Campbell intercepted a pass from Jets QB Joe Flacco and took it the distance for a pick six.

The Bills(7-3) had a bye in Week 11, which was possibly a good thing for them, considering how they lost their last game in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals beat them 32-30 on a Hail Mary from QB Kyler Murray to WR DeAndre Hopkins, but the Bills took the lead very late in that game on an impressive touchdown connection between QB Josh Allen and WR Stefon Diggs.
