How to bet Chargers vs. Colts in the NFL Week 7 matchup on CBS and Paramount+
AFC West meets AFC South as the Los Angeles Chargers (4-2) host the Indianapolis Colts (5-1) in Week 7 NFL action on Paramount+. Week 6 was a nail-biter for Justin Herbert and the Chargers, who had to rely on a last-second field goal for a 29-27 win against the Miami Dolphins. They host a Colts side that also had to rally from behind last week, narrowly defeating the Arizona Cardinals, 31-27.
Kickoff from SoFi Stadium is set for 4:05 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+. Los Angeles is a 1.5-point favorite in the latest Colts vs. Chargers odds from SportsLine consensus, while the over/under for total points scored is 48.5. The Chargers are -128 money line favorites (risk $128 to win $100), while the Colts are +107 underdogs.

Chargers vs. Colts betting preview
Odds: Chargers -1.5, over/under 48.5
Jonathan Taylor was Indy's hero in Week 6 as his touchdown with less than five minutes to play elevated the Colts past the visiting Cardinals. He leads the league in rushing yards (603), yards per game (100.5) and touchdowns (7), so he is expected to keep the Chargers run defense -- which allows 124.2 rushing yards per game -- quite busy. Daniel Jones continues to be solid under center for the Colts despite throwing an interception against Arizona, but he won't be able to afford any mistakes against the Chargers defense.
The Los Angeles defense clearly misses Khalil Mack, as it is allowing 301.7 total yards and 20.8 points per game and coming off of a sloppy road appearance against a dysfunctional Dolphins team. The offense has picked up some of the slack, and Herbert has thrown at least one touchdown pass in every game this season. The run game is almost non-existent now with both Omarion Hampton and Najee Harris on IR, but the stacked receiving corps continues to shine.
