The Cleveland Browns (2-2) face the Los Angeles Chargers (2-2) in a key AFC matchup that pits Stefanski's run-heavy offense against Staley's passing attack. Here are the most promising prop bets for this game:

Justin Herbert Over 272.5 Passing Yards (-114)

  • Browns defense allows 212 passing yards per game
  • Herbert has exceeded this mark in 2 games already this season
  • Chargers maintain high passing yards even without Keenan Allen

Nick Chubb Under 92.5 Rushing Yards (-114)

  • Game script likely to favor passing as it becomes a shootout
  • Chargers' defensive additions (Mack, Joseph-Day, Johnson) strengthening run defense
  • Expect heavy box-stacking from Chargers on early downs

Kareem Hunt Anytime TD (+165) & Over 15.5 Receiving Yards (-120)

  • Increased red zone opportunities likely after recent playcalling criticism
  • Higher snap count potential if game becomes pass-heavy
  • Favorable matchup on play-action rollouts
  • Should see enough passing work to exceed receiving yards mark

The Browns' struggling pass defense and Chargers' aggressive aerial attack suggest a high-scoring affair that could force both teams to throw more than usual, affecting rushing opportunities but creating value in passing-game props.
