Broncos over Eagles among upset predictions; Vikings beat Browns in London

Why Brooke picked the Chargers: After missing two weeks with a knee injury, Jayden Daniels is back to lead a Washington offense that has yet to hit its stride in 2025. It’ll be a tough ask for everything to suddenly click in Daniels’ return, though, as the Commanders face a Chargers D that ranks top five in scoring (17.8 PPG, fourth), total (270 YPG, third) and pass defense (158.8 pass YPG, fifth). How Daniels moves in the pocket — and how much he uses his legs — will likely tell this tale. Since 2024, he has the second-most carries and rush yards among QBs and his 12.9 scramble percentage is the highest among signal-callers (min. 250 pass attempts). If his movement is at all limited, it could be a long day. On the flip side, Justin Herbert will be without Joe Alt, one of the NFL’s best pass-blocking left tackles this season. That could be an issue against Dan Quinn’s defense, which has generated the third-highest pressure rate (45.4%) through four weeks. Pressured on 42.7 percent of his dropbacks (fifth-highest in the NFL), Herbert hasn’t been great in such situations, completing 21 of his 55 pass attempts for 286 yards, two TDs, two INTs and a 52.5 passer rating. Yet, if Herbert’s pocket stays mostly clean, expect him to find his playmakers downfield — an area of weakness for Washington. I see this being a back-and-forth affair with the home team making just enough timely plays to get back in the win column.
