MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

[B][U]SAN DIEGO VS JAX[/U][/B]

WHAT A CRAPPY GAME THIS HAS TURNED OUT TO BE FOR A MONDAY NIGHT WITH NO IMPLICATIONS WHATSOEVER... BUT I HAVE A FEELING THAT THIS SAN DIEGO TEAM WILL BE ABLE TO RISE ABOVE WHAT THE SEASON HAS DONE THUS FAR AND WITH SOME HELP COULD SNEAK INTO THE DIVISION TITLE.... NOW I KNOW THATS ASKING A LOT BUT THE RAIDERS ARE THE RAIDERS.... THEY JUST LOST TO MIAMI , HAVE GB UP NEXT, A SANDWICH GAME WITH DETROIT AND A ROAD VENTURE IN ARROWHEAD AND FINISH UP WITH THESE CHARGERS ON NEW YEARS DAY.... THE BRONCOS CAN RIDE ON FAITH AND TEBOW FOR SO LONG AND HOW HE PERFORMS OVER THE DECEMBER MONTHS IN COLD RAIN AND SNOW WITH CHI,NE AND BUF WILL DECIDE HIS SEASON THIS YEAR... WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THIS...

SAN DIEGO USUALLY TAILS OFF TOWARD THE END OF THE SEASON BUT I THINK THE CHANGE OF TIMES STARTS TONIGHT AND WITH A WIN HERE THEY COULD EASILY BE MOTIVATED TO RUN THE TABLES AND HAVE A SHOWDOWN WITH THE RAIDERS ON NEW YEARS DAY FOR THE DIVISION.... SOME OF YOU MAY LOOK AND SAY HOW COULD I POSSIBLY BELEIVE IN THAT... WELL LET ME EXPLAIN.

THE X FACTOR FOR THIS WHOLE SEASON HAS BEEN THE MISSING OF LINEBACKER SHAUN PHILLIPS ... HIS FOOT WAS HURT MORE THAN WE KNEW IN WEEK 5 AGAINST THE BRONCOS AND IT SHOWED THE FOLLOWING WEEK AGAINST THE JETS AS THEY RUSHED FOR OVER A 150 YARDS RIGHT AT THE CHARGERS DEFENSE.... THE CHARGERS HAVE HAD NOONE TO PICK UP WHAT HE BRINGS TO THE DEFENSE AS HE MISSED WEEKS 8-11 IN WHICH WERE ALL LOSSES... HE CAME BACK LAST WEEK AND BASICALLY WAS GETTING UP TO GAME SPEED IN ANOTHER LOSS, BUT THE OFFENSE OF SD DIDNT HELP AND I WILL GET TO THAT IN A MINUTE..... HE WILL BE FULLY 100% FOR THIS GAME AND WITH HIM IN THEIR LINEUP THEY ARE ABLE TO BRING MORE OPTIONS TOWARDS BLAINE GABBERT AND EVEN MORE SO HELP IN CONTAINMENT OF JONES-DREW....

NOW SAN DIEGO OFFENSE IS JUST IN SHAMBLES BUT IF YOU GIVE RIVERS SOME TIME , HE WILL EAT YOU ALIVE.... LAST WEEK THE #3 AFC TEAM LEADER IN SACKS BRONCOS CAUSED ALL KINDS OF HAVOC FOR RIVERS AND GOT INTO HIS DOME... INTERCEPTIONS FROM CHICAGO BEING IN THE BACKFIELD COST HIM BIG TIME IN THE CHICAGO GM AND THE RAIDERS FOUND HOLES ALL DAY IN THAT GAME.... BUT TODAYS GAME WILL BE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AS THE JAGS ARE AT THE BOTTOM IN SACKS AS NONE OF THE DEFENSIVE STARTING LINE TONIGHT SEEM A THREAT TO BE IN THE BACKFIELD OFTEN.... 2.5 OF MINCYS 4.5 SACKS CAME AGAINST THE COLTS AND ROTATING DE J.CHICK HAS ONLY 2 FOR THE YEAR OTHER THAN THEM 2 THIS INJURED DL HAS PRODUCED NOT MUCH.... IF THE LINEBACKERS CHOOSE TO BLITZ THEY WILL LEAN TO D. SMITH 1.5 SACKS AND P. POSLUSZY 2 SACKS TO BRING HEAT...BUT BY THEIR STATS THIS SEASON, THEY HAVENT HAD MUCH SUCCESS.....IN FACT THE WHOLE TEAM AS A GROUP HAS 23 FOR THE YEAR NEAR THE MIDDLE OF THE PACK OF THE AFC....

WITH THAT BEING SAID IMO THIS IS WHERE I THINK THE CHARGERS WILL HAVE A BIG ADVANTAGE BEING IF THEY DONT HAVE SOMEOONE HARRASSING RIVERS HE WILL THROW ALL DAY ~~ IF THEY BLITZ I LOOK TO A LOT OF UNDERNEATH COVERAGE PASSES TO A.GATES AND SHORT SCREENS TO MATHEWS OR TOLBERT....

I ALSO LOOK AT THE HOUSTON GAMES THAT THE JAGS PLAYED AND DESPITE THEM PLAYING CLOSE I NOTICED 2 THINGS ... THEIR FIRST MEETING AS 10 POINT DOGS THE TIME OF POSSESSION WAS SO MUCH INTO THE TEXANS FAVOR 35 -25 , WHICH SHOWS ME THAT THEY REALLY CANT STOP A 3 THREAT OFFENSE.... IN THE LAST GAME AGAINST THE TEXANS THEY KEPT IT CLOSE AND THE TIME OF POSSESSION WAS CLOSER , BUT THAT GAME LIENERT WENT DOWN AND THEY DIDNT KNOW WHAT THE KID I TALKED ABOUT YESTERDAY WAS CAPABLE OF IN T.J. YATES... HAD THEY KNOWN WHAT TO EXPECT I THINK THEY WOULDVE OPENED THE OFFENSE A LITTLE MORE....

I dont know but I was thinking.........how does the NFL get the people to watch this game? Score points & a lot of them.........hence, I like the Over.............

Over 39 (-110) $330 to win $300

If I figure out that I have an edge on the side of this game, I will post it...............

The battle of the just-fired-coach football team
vs the to-be-fired-coach football team.
Good stuff, lol.

Die-hard football fans are going to watch no matter who is playing. It's the only game in town and NFL addicts need their fix....lol

But your handicapping logic cracks me up. You're saying that in order to get people to watch, the teams need to score lots of points so therefor bet the Overs....(?)

Only problem is, you have to be watching first already to see those points getting scored (or not getting scored). No one is going to be monitoring the score to decide whether they are going to watch or not, lol.
You either decide in advance if you want to watch the game, or not; hence the logic for your pick makes no sense. Whatever is going to happen will happen regardless of whether you think it's going to be good for viewer ratings, or not, and whoever is going to watch will watch regardless of scoring, or not.

Two poor teams. Jack can't score but they play terrific defense. Remember the Balt @ Jack MN game? Somehow, I have a great deal of difficulty thinking SD will fare much better than Balt did.

Anyway, I will enjoy the game whether it's a low scoring defensive struggle, or not. I'm not going to bet this one but if I had to, I'd take Jack and under.

Good luck on your pick. You may win, or not...but it won't have anything at all to do with the reasoning behind your pick.
