The Jets come into this week at 4-3, tied with the Browns and Bengals for the final spot in the AFC playoff race. The Chargers are right on their tails at 3-4, so this game is a key swing game at the halfway point of the NFL season.

CBS Sports Week 9 pick

Pete PriscoChargers 21, Jets 17. “The Chargers seemed to right things against the Bears, but this is a long trip against a good defensive team. That will cause problems for Justin Herbert. The Chargers defense has been bad for most of the season, but they showed some improvement last week. Look for the Chargers to come in here and get the best of it as Herbert does enough to pull it out late. “
