Dallas Cowboys vs. Los Angeles Chargers predictions - Cowboys 27 - Chargers 33

The offensive line is gelling slowly and rookie Rashawn Slater impressed everyone on his NFL debut. The home advantage will give the Chargers a slight edge, as will the play of Justin Herbert. DeMarcus Lawrence's absence will hinder the Cowboys' efforts to pressurize Herbert.

Herbert is excellent in a clean pocket and he is fearless on third downs. Being good on third downs is critical in the NFL. Dak Prescott should enjoy another strong outing as the Chargers' secondary is still adapting to Brandon Staley's defensive scheme.

Furthermore, Staley's scheme should aid Zeke Elliott's attempts to get back to form. The Bucs stacked the box to shackle the Cowboys runner, and the Chargers will leave a light tackle box as they sell out against the pass.

Prediction: This game has all the hallmarks of becoming a shootout. Justin Herbert will power the Chargers to a thrilling victory as he takes another step forward on the road to stardom.
