The 8-6 Buffalo Bills will be looking for their third straight win when they take on the 5-9 Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday night in the NFL. The game will take place at SoFi Stadium.
The Bills are coming off a 31-10 win over the Dallas Cowboys as a favorite. The Chargers are coming off a 63-21 thrashing of Las Vegas having experienced one of the worst losses in franchise history.
However, Los Angeles has a 7-3 record in its last 10 meetings against Buffalo.
Bills Seek Fourth of Five Possible Victories
The Bills have re-entered playoff contention after winning three of their last four games. They will try to keep the momentum going with a win over the Chargers, which will give them their third straight win and fourth in their last five games.
Buffalo averages 27.1 points per game. They throw for 244.6 yards and rush for 132.3 yards per game. Josh Allen completed 47 percent of his passes for 94 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Cowboys. He also carried the ball eight times for 24 yards and a touchdown.
James Cook had 25 carries for 1479 yards and a touchdown, while Stefon Diggs had four receptions for 48 yards.
Buffalo has played well defensively, allowing 18.1 points per game. Giving up only 10 points in their last game, they will need a similar effort to pull out the win.
The Bills have been on a solid run of matchups on defense and offense, and have also managed to hold their last three opponents under 200 yards per game.
The Bills are one of the best in the league when it comes to pressuring the quarterback and force a lot of turnovers, so they are expected to keep Los Angeles' offense in check.

Chargers Look to Break Losing Streak
The Chargers are not playing well right now and come into this game on a two-game losing streak. They suffered their biggest loss of the season against the Las Vegas Raiders in their last game, which led to the firing of head coach Brandon Staley.
Los Angeles will try to bounce back from the embarrassing loss with a win over the Bills, which would give them their second win in their last four games.
Los Angeles averages 21.6 points per game. They throw for 238 yards and rush for 95.7 yards per game.
Easton Stick completed 72% of his passes for 257 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in the loss to the Raiders. Isaiah Spiller had 16 carries for 50 yards, while Joshua Palmer had four receptions for 113 yards and a touchdown.
Los Angeles has struggled defensively, allowing 24.6 points per game. They conceded 63 points in their last meeting and will have to play better if they want to win this game.
Keenan Allen, with a heel injury, and Deane Leonard, with an ankle injury, are in doubt for Saturday.
The Bills have won two straight games and three of their last four overall. They are playing well offensively, scoring at least 30 points in three of those games. They have a balanced attack and are in the top 10 in passing and rushing.
The Chargers are not very good at defending the run and their defense against the pass is the third worst in the league, so they are expected to have a tough time slowing down the Bills. The Chargers have lost two straight games and three straight games at home.
Los Angeles has struggled offensively and hasn't scored more than 20 points in four of their last five games. They don't run the ball well, but have the 10th-best aerial attack in the league.
With Justin Herbert out and Easton under center, their aerial game hasn't been as good. However, the Chargers hope to bounce back in a timely manner.
