The Philadelphia Eagles will travel to the West Coast for a Monday Night Football matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Philadelphia leads the NFC East with an 8-4 record, and they can breathe a little easier after the Dallas Cowboys lost to the Detroit Lions on Thursday. Los Angeles also owns an 8-4 record, but they’re second in the AFC West and fighting for a Wild Card spot.
The biggest factor in this game is going to be the snail’s pace at which both teams want to play. The Chargers currently rank 27th in the NFL in seconds per play (30.6) this season. The Eagles rank 31st in the same category (31.0).
These are two of the slowest-paced teams in the NFL, and they’re going to be looking to control the clock and limit their opponent. Both teams have also been successful in that aspect, and it doesn’t truly matter which team has the ball. We’re going to get an extremely slow-paced game in all aspects.

These are two teams that have struggled offensively throughout the season. Los Angeles ranks 21st in the league in points (.359) per play this season. They’re only averaging 23.1 points per game, and they’ve been slightly better at home.
Philadelphia has been the better offense as a whole thus far, but they aren’t near the top of the NFL anymore. Overall, they rank 12th in the league in points (.388) per play. They’re only averaging 22.5 points per game, and that number dips slightly on the road.
The Chargers have struggled defensively this season, but they’re still relatively average, and that’s the key. They also have performed well in terms of points allowed (21.0) per game because of their ability to control the ball.
The Eagles have been a drastically better defense. They rank in the top 10 in most categories, and they’re coming off an embarrassing game against the Chicago Bears. Overall, they’re also only giving up 20.8 points per game this season.
These are two teams that have found more defensive than offensive success this season. Both teams are going to look to limit their opponents by controlling the clock and wasting time. We should see limited plays overall, giving the under an edge here.
