Don\u2019t count on this one cashing with Tyler Huntley under center.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction:<\/strong> Under 10.5<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Los_Angeles_Chargers_10-6_105_wins\"><\/span>Los Angeles Chargers (10-6, 10.5 wins)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Will the Chargers play their starters in Week 18?

Ultimately, we think the Chargers will pull this one out against a struggling Denver squad even if the regulars don\u2019t get a full workload.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction:<\/strong> Over 10.5<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Miami_Dolphins_8-8_85_wins\"><\/span>Miami Dolphins (8-8, 8.5 wins)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Our sincerest sympathies go out to anyone who bet the Over for the Dolphins\u2019 preseason total, which looked like an absolute lock after a sizzling 8-3 start.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve lost five straight since then, and they\u2019ll be without starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) for the all-important finale against the Jets (+3.5).
