NFL Week 11: New York Jets at Los Angeles Chargers odds, picks and predictions

The Los Angeles Chargers take on the winless New York Jets at the SoFi Field in Week 11 on Sunday.

Both sides have lost their last 3 games in a row.

The Jets (0-9) played an uncharacteristic nail-biter against the New England Patriots in Week 10, which they lost by three points after they failed to score a single point in the fourth quarter. By comparison, the Patriots scored 13 points in the fourth quarter to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

The Chargers (2-7) are coming off a 29-21 loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 10, which featured a matchup of two rookie quarterbacks: Miami's Tua Tagovailoa and the L.A.'s Justin Herbert. The Chargers were never in the game from the beginning, as they ended the first half with a 10-point deficit. They did mount a second-half comeback, but it was too late to make a difference.
