Meanwhile, the Chargers had a confident start to Jim Harbaugh's tenure when they topped the Las Vegas Raiders, 22-10.

Week 2 NFL picks for Chargers vs. Panthers

Before tuning into Sunday's Panthers vs. Chargers game, you need to see the NFL picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 2 of the 2024 NFL season on an incredible 184-130 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. It is also on a 38-22 roll on top-rated NFL betting picks since Week 7 of 2022.

For Panthers vs. Chargers, the model is backing LA to cover the spread. Harbaugh is 39-24-2 ATS in his NFL career and was 9-4 ATS taking a California team to the East Coast during his tenure with the 49ers. The Panthers only covered the spread four times last season and are already off to a rough start after the loss to the Saints.

Herbert still has some kinks to iron out, but Harbaugh's run-heavy scheme picked up the slack against Vegas as J.K. Dobbins rushed for 135 yards and scored a touchdown. The Panthers gave up 180 yards on the ground to New Orleans last week, and they will have their hands full on Sunday with the Chargers offense. You may be able to stream the game here.
