The Los Angeles Chargers are 2-point favorites over the Houston Texans in Week 17 of the 2025 regular season. The over/under is 39.5 points, per BetMGM Sportsbook.
That means oddsmakers are taking bets on whether the two teams will combine to score more than or fewer than 39.5 points.
My score prediction for the game is a 21-17 Bolts win, with a combined total of 38 points. So, if I were putting money based on my prediction, I’d bet the Under.
As for game picks, analysts are leaning toward L.A. winning.
