vs market (Earl \u2212 line)

At 0-5 with a -10.15 neutral-field rating (29th), the Chargers are getting outscored by 9.0 points per game over their last five while managing just 16.8 points per game, and the -2.42 weekly drop shows this is still trending the wrong way. The market has already caught on, given the -6.46 vs-market gap, but with Derwin James and Quentin Johnston out and Ladd McConkey questionable, this is a firm sell — lay the points against them rather than hunting for a buy-low.
