Each of the past three Hall of Fame Games have gone over that number with an average of 38.0 points per game. There’s definitely potential for the Chargers and Lions to batten down the defensive hatches, but I’m expecting the Over to hit for a fourth consecutive year. Strong defense can also set up short fields, and there’s also always the chance we see turnovers translate to points, too.
Los Angeles is set to give quarterback Trey Lance a lengthy look behind center in the Hall of Fame Game following a solid start to training camp. The combination of Lance receiving a long look and intriguing pass-catchers Tre’ Harris, KeAndre Lambert-Smith and Dalevon Campbell all likely to see the field, I like the Chargers to squeak out a win Thursday night.
