Chargers Look to Stay Undefeated Against Struggling Giants

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Los Angeles Chargers face off against the New York Giants on Sunday, Sept. 28, 2025, with both teams headed in vastly different directions. The Chargers have raced to a 3-0 start this season, while the Giants are still looking for their first victory after losing all three of their games thus far.

Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has shown strong leadership, helping his team to rank among the best in the AFC thanks to a potent offense and a solid defense. The Giants, on the other hand, are struggling, averaging just 17.3 points per game, with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart set to take the helm after the benching of veteran Russell Wilson.

This matchup marks Dart’s first career start, and he will face a stiff challenge against the undefeated Chargers. The game will kick off at 1:00 p.m. at MetLife Stadium. Given the Giants’ recent performance, which includes converting only 27.5% of third downs, Dart must find a way to spark an offense that has been ineffective.

The Chargers’ defense will be critical in containing the Giants’ offense. Giants’ key players, such as Brian Burns and Dexter Lawrence II, will need to step up and apply pressure on Herbert while aiming to establish short fields for Dart and the offense to work with.

Las Vegas betting lines have favored the Chargers significantly, as the point spread has risen from -5.5 to -6.5. There is notable confidence in the Chargers, who are seen to have a 74.88% chance to win the game. Historical trends suggest the Giants struggle to remain competitive, particularly against teams of this caliber.

With the Giants also facing a host of injuries, their offensive struggles could deepen. Both Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton are uncertain for the game, which adds pressure on Dart during his first start. Meanwhile, the Chargers remain relatively healthy, with tight end Will Dissly’s absence being manageable for their deep receiving corps.

Analysts predict a lower scoring affair, primarily due to the Giants’ offensive inefficiencies. The under is an appealing bet, considering the Giants’ poor red zone success. The Chargers have also been efficient, converting red zone opportunities at a rate double that of the Giants.
