Sad Diego should win this game with ease.  But I do believe that with the -8.5 number the best play would be to tease it.  You are crossing all the key numbers.  I would tease it with K.C or Detroit who both have value with crossing numbers. K.C. is impossible to beat at home and Detroit just puts up too many points to lose by 9.   I also am looking at both Indy and Tenn on a tease play both at +3 get these teams at +9 and your looking pretty solid.  These are both division games and these teams always play eachother very close.  Not to mention Indy(P.M. starting) and Tenn are the better teams in these matchups.

ya, i guess teams cant double team allen when a threatening d end like robison is rushing the QB, hahaha   again WAKE UP

McKinnie had a very subpar year last year.  He's a supremely overrated last year because of the 2009 season.  He was out of shape then and is even more now.  I watch every snap of this team haha.  And, to say Edwards is an DE that draws attention away from Jared is an idiotic statement in of itself.  He's as avg as you can get at that spot guy.  We have yet to see what Robison has since he was rotated in.  Different defense this time around guy, but you would know that right?

only thing worrying me about the Chargers is that they have a new D coordinator and a lot of new linebackers which will be important in slowing down AP and play action plays otherwise I wouldn't been all over SD cause they r gonna put up some points

they will be a different defense in that they will be shit, that i know.  ya, ray edwards with 8 sacks and 53 QB pressures is an average DE, lol.  what exactly are you watching when you are seeing every snap?  please accept the fact that the team needs to rebuild and cannot continue to insert washed up QBs to try and compete.

San Diego -8.5, why?

-San Diego had the #1 offense and defense in the NFL last year, will be there again this year

-Vincent Jackson in the lineup from week 1 instead of week 11

-Played the chiefs last year (division rival), oakland the year before (divisional rival) - divisional rival games are usual close because these teams know each other so well.

-new kickoff rule.  Special  teams were a disaster last year.  kicking the ball into the endzone for a touchback eliminates some of these situations.

-This team will start 6-1 this year, instead of 2-5 like the last two years.

tough trip for Minnesota. the Chargers will go 8-0 or 7-1 at home this season. their Offense is healthy and rolling and the Def is better this season. Minnesotas O is one-dimensional.

I've got a SD 34-21 final

I personally think this line is a little high.  SD is famous for its shit starts to the season.  I actually like Minny to cover the points but still L.   GL with your play

San Diego returns Norv Turner as head coach and Philip Rivers as starting Q-back.

Minnesota should be an improved team just with the change in Q-backs but I don't think it will be enough to offset a San Diego team that was awfully good at home last year. The Chargers won 75% of their home games "straight up" and "against the spread", while the Vikings won only 25% of their away games while covering only 37.5% of the time.

The current line on the game is San Diego -8 1/2. Spot the points. The Chargers will cover!


So San Diego didn't cover. My bad. But in all honesty if their field goal kicker doesn't get hurt they would have covered easily. C'est la vie!! On to week 2.
