San Diego looks to build on momentum with a rare winning streak
The San Diego Chargers are just 1-8 SU and 2-7 ATS in their last nine games coming off a win. The Chargers beat the Tennessee Titans 43-35 last Sunday, and will look to pick up a second straight win this Sunday at home against the Miami Dolphins.
Shaking off a 1-4 SU and 3-2 ATS start to the season, the Chargers have kept their slim playoff hopes alive with a 3-1 SU and ATS record over their last four games, including impressive wins over Denver and Atlanta. Historically, San Diego has struggled with the Dolphins, going 3-9 SU in its last 12 games against Miami and 3-7 ATS in its last 10.
Like the Chargers, the Dolphins have also turned their season around of late, posting a 3-0 SU and ATS record over their last three games after a 1-4 SU and ATS start to 2016. Jay Ajayi has emerged as a superstar for the Dolphins on offense over that three-game stretch, rushing for 529 yards and five touchdowns since taking over as the team's full-time starter.
The UNDER is 13-0 in the last 13 games between these two teams.
