Week 14 of the 2025-26 NFL season wraps up with a Monday Night Football game between two Playoff hopefuls with identical 8-4 records, as the Los Angeles Chargers host the defending Super Bowl champs Philadelphia Eagles.

Philadelphia has dropped two games in a row after beating two of the conference’s best teams in Week 10 (the Packers) and Week 11 (the Lions). They dropped a tough game against divisional foe Dallas, then followed that up with a loss to the Chicago Bears on Black Friday.

The Eagles are falling behind in the race for the no.1 spot in the NFC. They’re also barely hanging on to the NFC East lead. If they lose on MNF, that division is up for grabs.

The Chargers bounced back in Week 13 after getting blown out by the Jaguars in Week 11. A Bye Week came just in time for LA to “recharge” and get healthier. Unfortunately, Justin Herbert suffered an injury against the Raiders and had surgery on his non-throwing hand. It could definitely impact his availability and playing ability.

Currently, the Eagles are favored by less than a field goal, according to the latest NFL betting lines. With that said, let’s dive deeper into the MNF odds, courtesy of the top sports betting sites, and make our Week 14 NFL picks for the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Los Angeles Chargers.

Monday Night Football Predictions

Let’s take a look at the participants in this week’s Monday Night Football game, and make our winning NFL picks: 

Philadelphia Eagles Monday Night Football

The Philadelphia Eagles came into Week 12 as the top seed in the NFC. Unfortunately, they dropped two games in a row and fell to third in the conference. Furthermore, they’ve opened the door for the Dallas Cowboys to challenge for the NFC East crown.

Prior to this two-game losing skid, it seemed that Philly had regained their mojo over the three previous games. They avenged their loss to the Giants by crushing them 38-20. Then they beat the Packers and Lions in consecutive weeks. In fact, their defense held those two top-tier teams to just 8.0 points per game.

We thought that Philly’s defense had returned to last year’s form. Instead, they ended up blowing a 21-point lead versus the Cowboys and then were gashed by the Bears for 425 total yards which included 281 rushing yards.

Now, they face a banged-up Chargers team with a returning Hampton and a wounded Herbert. Additionally, the Eagles defense gave up 24 points per game in those two losses.

For the Eagles to win, they will need this defense to show up and play better than their rankings. Currently, Philly allows the 9^th most rushing yards per game (128.9 ypg) and sit 18^th in the NFL as they give up 218.3 passing ypg. They also have one of the lowest sack rates at 5.49% (27^th). So, if Herbert gets time, then he could potentially dice up this secondary.

Offensively, the Eagles are a shell of their 2024-25 team. They rank 19^th in scoring (22.5 ppg), 22^nd in rushing (108.5 ypg), 23^rd in passing (196.3 ypg), and 24^th in total yards (304.8 ypg). This team needs to rise to another level of play or they could be one-and-done in the Playoffs, if they make it.

Los Angeles Chargers Monday Night Football

For the Chargers, this MNF game comes down to the health of their QB Justin Herbert. He had surgery on his left hand (non-throwing) to stabilize a broken bone. He’s been seen practicing fully and taking snaps under center this week, which is a big deal since he couldn’t do that in the Raiders game last Sunday.

Also, Hampton returns to the field after missing half the season due to an injury. It will be interesting to see how the Chargers balance their 12^th ranked rushing attack between the rookie and Vidal who has played great.

Defensively, the Chargers are solid as they rank 3^rd in total yards (275.3 ypg), 2^nd against the pass (168.3 ypg) and 13^th against the run (106.9 ypg).

Los Angeles has the offensive fire power to really test Philly’s subpar defense. Additionally, the Chargers have a strong defense that can make Jalen Hurts and company struggle on Monday night.

Who Is Winning Monday Night Football?

This is more of a feeling than a logical choice based on the trends and head-to-head data. Philly is the defending Super Bowl champ for a reason. December is the time where the league’s best rise to play at a higher level.

While I think the Chargers are a good team and should make the Playoffs, I see Philly bouncing back from their two losses to pick up a huge road win and reestablish their position in the NFC pecking order.

At 2.5 points, that should be an easy cover as Philly should win this game by at least three points. I also like the Over despite how good these two defenses are. Combined, they give up 41.8 ppg. Plus, the Over has gone 5-1 in the last six head-to-head matchups between Philly and LA.

Bet: Philadelphia Eagles -130, Eagles -2 (-110), Over 41 pts. (-110)

Monday Night Football Prop Bets

Let’s take a look at some of the best Player props and Game prop bets for this Monday Night Football matchup:

Justin Herbert Passing Yards

• Over 214.5 yards (-110)
• Under 214.5 yards (-110)

Justin Herbert is averaging 236.8 passing yards per game on the season. He’s gone over 215 yards in 8 of his 12 games this season. The last two weeks have been subpar for Herbert, but with his full arsenal of weapons, I see the talented QB surpassing 215 yards.

The Eagles allow 218.3 passing yards per game. In the last three weeks, they gave up 255 yards to Detroit’s Jared Goff and 354 yards to Dak Prescott two games ago. Herbert will benefit from playing against this secondary.

Bet: Over 214.5 yards (-110)

Justin Herbert Passing TDs

• Over 1.5 yards (-110)
• Under 1.5 yards (-110)

For the season, Herbert has 21 passing TDs. He’s thrown 2 or more TDs in seven starts this season including last week when he was injured. The Eagles allow two passing TDs per game on average. I see Herbert throwing at least two TDs on Monday Night Football.

Bet: Over 1.5 yards (-110) 

Saquon Barkley Rushing Yards

• Over 68.5 yards (-110)
• Under 68.5 yards (-110)

How the mighty have fallen. Last year, Saquon Barkley broke 2,000 rushing yards and was an MVP contender. This year, he’s going to be lucky to break 1,000 rushing yards. After 13 weeks, Barkley has just 740 rushing yards and is averaging just 61.7 yards per game.

However, he’s surpassed 68.5 rushing yards in just three starts. Over the last two weeks, Barkley has just 78 total yards. Chargers allow only 106.9 ypg. Combine that with their top-ranked pass defense, and I see the Chargers focusing on taking Barkley out of the game. Take the Under!

Bet: Under 68.5 yards (-110)

Best Bets For Monday Night Football

Check out our best bets for Monday Night Football:

• Philadelphia Eagles -130
• Philadelphia Eagles -2 (-110)
• Saquon Barkley Under 68.5 Rushing Yards (-110)

This parlay pretty much comes down to Philadelphia playing to their full potential, which is something we’ve seen only a few times this year.

With that said, the Eagles have the talent to win on Monday Night Football. I expect this championship winning roster to bounce back from their two-game losing skid to win at LA. Because of the small spread, I also see the Eagles covering the two points.

Philly is 10-1 SU in their last 11 AFC games, 5-2 SU in their seven road games this year, and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 away games.

Lastly, Barkley and the rest of this Philly offense have been a disappointment. He’s averaging 61.7 ypg this season and has only surpassed 69 rushing yards in three of his 12 games. I expect the Chargers to limit Barkley’s running lanes and to win the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.

Despite my pick of the Eagles to win the game and cover the 2 points, I don’t see Barkley being a big factor in that outcome.

If you put these best Week 14 MNF bets into a parlay, then you will win $545 for every $100 wagered. That’s over a 5x on your parlay card.

Monday Night Football Song

Monday Night Football’s theme “Heavy Action” has become a pop-culture staple as generations of fans will instantly recognize the theme song within the first few notes.

Yet, over time, broadcast networks have tried to retool the MNF song to add an extra layer of entertainment, importance, and relevance. For over two-decades, Monday Night Football belonged to Hank Williams Jr. and his hit “All My Rowdy Fans Are Coming Over Tonight.”

In 2023, ESPN debuted a new opening song. They took one of the 80’s biggest hits “In The Air Tonight” by Phil Collins and modernized it with an all-star collaboration from Christ Stapleton, Snoop Dogg and Cindy Blackman Santana. As of now, this rendition is expected to remain the Monday Night Football song for the 2025-26 season.
