Jeremy Cluff writes: “Both of these teams were on the wrong side of double-digit comebacks in NFL Week 5. Justin Herbert and Los Angeles have dropped two straight after a 3-0 start. The Chargers will edge the Dolphins in a tight game in Miami.”

Bill Speros writes: “The Chargers have a thing for early games on the East Coast, and it isn’t good. Let’s just say they’re low voltage. The Dolphins lucked into consecutive games against the Jets and Panthers before getting LA in South Florida’s wet and warm climes. But they blew a 17-0 lead in their loss to Carolina. The Bolts got zapped at home by Washington. They’ll enjoy a week away from home.”

Matt Johnson writes: “The Los Angeles Chargers need Omarion Hampton (ankle) to play in Week 6 so they can take advantage of a defense that is allowing 174.2 rushing yards per game and 5.6 yards per carry this season. If Hampton can’t go, then it will be on Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter to dial up a scheme that rattles Tua Tagovailoa and forces this Miami Dolphins offense to play from behind early. Given that the Chargers are starting a pair of backup offensive tackles and are susceptible to allowing explosive plays, Miami could pull off the Week 6 upset.”
