Gambling911.com has your Chargers vs. Bengals betting line and Daily Fantasy Sports picks for Week 2.

The Bengals come into this game as a -3 home favorite.  The total is set at 46.5.

These teams have played one another three times in the last three years with Cincinnati winning two of those by a touchdown, though the Chargers took last 2014 Playoff game by quite a lot.  The visitor won on all three occasions.

Though the Chargers are just 3-9 Against The Spread in their last 12 games overall, they are 8-4 ATS in its last 12 games on the road.  This might be offset by the Bengals 13-4-1 ATS home record.

Chargers starting QB Philip Rivers ($6.7K) looked impressive last weekend with 404 passing yards, 2 TDs, 2 INTs and just over 20 fantasy points.

Rivers, however, failed to put up solid fantasy numbers in his two previous meetings with Cincinnati.

Bengals starting quarterback Andy Dalton did have decent fantasy production against San Diego in that team’s home Playoff loss in January 2014.  Dalton ($5.8K) certainly has some value coming into this game against a team that has allowed the 12th-most points to opposing passers.  It can be argued that Dalton is among the top quarterback picks for one’s DFS roster this week.

The Chargers are decent against the run so think twice before picking Jeremy Hill ($7.4K).
