Week 4: Winless Chargers Visit Seahawks After Harbaugh Tells Herbert to 'Be Better'
The Los Angeles Chargers visit the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, October 4. Seattle is 2-1 after a 33-31 loss at Washington that ended its 12-game winning streak; Sam Darnold threw for a career-high 379 yards and four touchdowns in his return but was intercepted twice, once for a touchdown. Los Angeles is 0-3 after a 24-16 loss at Buffalo in which it forced five turnovers and still lost; David Njoku is on injured reserve and Jim Harbaugh said this week that Justin Herbert has to be better.

AI Prediction
Chargers 
Seahawks Seattle at home against an 0-3 team
The Seahawks' loss came on turnovers, not on being outplayed.
The Chargers could not win with five takeaways
Sixteen points in Buffalo with a plus-four turnover margin.
Seattle's run game has disappeared
Thirty-nine yards on 17 carries in Washington puts the game on Darnold.
A High-confidence home lean. The model was wrong on Seattle at the same confidence last week and is 3 percentage points lower here.
