The Cleveland Browns (2-2) face off against the Los Angeles Chargers (2-2) in a pivotal AFC matchup. Here are the most promising prop bets based on team tendencies and matchups:

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
  • Browns haven't faced a QB of Herbert's caliber yet
  • Chargers maintain high passing volume 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) focused on run-stopping
  • Expect heavy box formations on early downs
  • Despite Chubb's dominance, game flow may limit carries

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

  • Hunt provides red zone versatility
  • Likely increased snap count if game becomes pass-heavy
  • Strong potential for play-action passes to the flat
  • Chargers tendency to over-commit to Chubb creates opportunities

Kevin Stefanski's run-first approach will clash with Brandon Staley's pass-heavy offense, creating opportunities in these specific betting markets. Game script will likely determine the success of these props, with a high probability of the matchup becoming a passing shootout.
