The San Diego Chargers are glad to have WR Malcom Floyd back in the huddle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Seattle earned a 36-16 season-opening victory over the Green Bay Packers as 4.5-point home favorites last Thursday, as it won the statistical battle by 143 yards in that affair.\u00a0 The Seahawks defense proved that it intends to once again be one of the best defenses in football, as they limited the Packers to just 255 total yards, which is important to consider when making your Week 2 NFL predictions.\u00a0 Offensively, quarterback Russell Wilson threw for 191 yards and two touchdowns, while running back Marshawn Lynch gained 110 yards on 20 carries and hit pay dirt twice.\u00a0 Seattle is 10-2 ATS as favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points since 2012.<\/p>\n

The Seahawks are certainly pleased to have a healthy Percy Harvin on the field, as the star wide receiver had 59 yards receiving and 41 on the ground, which can\u2019t be ignored when looking over the NFL betting lines.\u00a0 Seattle has won six of the last seven meetings in this series, including a 27-20 victory as 3.5-point home underdogs on Sept. 26, 2010\u2014despite San Diego signal-caller Philip Rivers throwing for a career-high 455 yards.<\/p>\n

San Diego dropped a hard-fought 18-17 decision to the Arizona Cardinals as three-point road underdogs in the second game of ESPN\u2019s Monday Night Football doubleheader, while it went UNDER the betting total for the eighth time in 10 trips to the field dating back to last season.\u00a0 Rivers threw for 238 yards and a touchdown in the lid lifter, but a snap sailed over his head in the fourth quarter to set up a series of events that led to the loss.\u00a0 San Diego is 4-4 SU and 6-1-1 ATS as underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points, with no clear edge in terms of the betting total (4-4 Over\/Under).<\/p>\n

The Chargers are a mediocre 13-13 in September since 2007, while they\u2019ve put together a 52-35 mark in games other than that month over that span.\u00a0 San Diego has to be thrilled with the return of wide receiver Malcom Floyd, as he\u2019s a dynamic weapon for Rivers to target downfield\u2014finishing with four catches for 50 yards and a touchdown in Arizona.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Chargers, as the underdog has covered the number in the last four meetings in this series.<\/p>\n
