NFL Odds: Chargers Struggle Off the Bye

There are a lot of reasons the San Diego Chargers have had an underwhelming 2015 campaign, but the finger can’t be pointed at starting quarterback Philip Rivers. Rivers has 3,033 passing yards for 19 touchdowns and seven interceptions so far this year and will have an opportunity to pad those stats against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 10.

It turns out extra rest hasn’t been a good thing for the Bolts in recent years, however. The Chargers are 0-4 ATS in their last four games after the bye—a trend that won’t appeal to San Diego backers in the wake of the team’s bye week.
