How often the Chargers cover the spread

Team history

In the 2025 regular season the Chargers covered the spread in 9 of 17 games: 6 of 9 at home and 3 of 8 away. Their games went over the total 7 times in 17. So far in 2026: covered in 0 of 4 (1 push), and over in 1 of 4.

20214 of 94 of 88 of 176 of 94 of 810 of 17
What do these numbers mean?

Bookmakers give the weaker team a head start called the spread. A team covers when it wins by more than the spread, or loses by less than its head start. A push is a tie with the line, so bets were refunded. The total is the bookmakers' line for points in the game; over means the game finished above it. We count the main closing line just before the start, complete seasons only, plus this season so far.

Team history, counted from final scores. Not Bet Better’s picks.
