Seattle Seahawks vs Los Angeles Chargers Key Stats
The Chargers' scoring offense is currently ranked 12th in the NFL. The offense is pass-heavy, as quarterback Justin Herbert enters Week 7 leading the NFL in passing attempts.
He is ranked fourth in passing yards and is tied for sixth in passing touchdowns. Star wide receiver Keenen Allen has missed all but one game, but is questionable in Week 7. Even without Allen, Herbert ranks 12th in passer rating and eighth in QBR.
Despite big-name offseason additions, the Chargers' scoring defense has struggled and currently sits at 26th in the NFL. The Chargers will need their defense to turn it around if they want to emerge as serious contenders.
The Seahawks' scoring offense has surprised many, currently ranking 9th in the NFL. Many expected the Seahawks offense to take a step back after trading quarterback Russell Wilson in the offseason.
His replacement, Geno Smith, has outplayed him, however. Smith enters Week 7 tied for ninth in passing yards and tied for eighth in passing touchdowns. Smith's surprising start to the season has him ranked 3rd in passer rating and fourth in QBR.
Protecting the ball has been key to that, as Smith has thrown just two interceptions all season. Their scoring defense, however, has not had the same success, ranking 29th in the NFL.
They have forced the fifth-most turnovers in the NFL, which will be key for them in this matchup against one of the league's strongest young quarterbacks.

Seattle Seahawks vs. Los Angeles Chargers Betting Prediction
The Chargers and Seahawks both enter Week 7 in the postseason picture. The Chargers are currently tied with the Kansas City Chiefs for the best record in the AFC West.
The Seahawks, who have been one of the biggest surprises thus far, are tied with the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams atop the NFC West. While the Seahawks offense has been strong to begin the season, look for them to struggle to keep up with Herbert and the Chargers offense. The latter should have their way against one of the NFL's worst defenses.
Pick: Los Angeles Chargers -4.5 (-110); Over 50.5 (-110)
