    Chargers are the hottest team in the NFL, but Titans are the second hottest since 0-6 start and they are playing for their playoff lives. Meanwhile, game means nothing to Chargers because they will almost certainly clinch bye at home vs. Deadskins next week anyway.

    Now playing the more desperate team doesn't always work (see Jags vs. Colts), but here you are talking about a HOT team that needs to keep on winning.

    Tennessee or pass.

      Before you consider betting on either side ask yourself this...

      "Do I really want to go against San Diego in December?"

      SD+3 is the safe play... SD ML is extra $$$

        Tennessee is 7-2 in their last 9 games, winning by an average of 2 points.
        Well if you throw in that 59-0 loss by the Patriots it's obviously gonna throw the stats off, 8 games ago is when VY came in and the Titans turned their season around and since then they've been winning by 11 points per game.

        Here are the facts... TN's strength's are running the ball and stopping the run... they are also more and more effective passing the ball, however their weakness is pass defense which is the Chargers strength.

        The Chargers are very good at passing the ball, but stink at running the ball, and they're defense has no real strenghts theyre right in the middle of the pack.

        The game is pretty evenly matched and could go either way, but the Titans should get the edge from homefield.

            But you have to realize Chargers needed to win every game until the end last year, and without researching it, it was probably the same case a couple of prior years. It is different this season, as this game is not critical to them.

                Tenn pass defense has been bad all year, and still is bad. Chargers should carve them up, and the Chargers front-7 has played better as of late.

Tennessee is 7-2 in their last 9 games, winning by an average of 2 points.

                  San Diego wins by at least 3 points, and maybe by a lot more. I'll bet the Chargers ML and take the 3 points, averaging out the risk so I break even if the Titans win by 1 or 2 points. I expect a nice pay day after the Chargers clinch a playoff bye and the Titans begin planning for next year.


                  theres so many things wrong with this post i will just let you shrivel alone in your pathetic attempt of a handicapping hole.

                    How is it not critical? A first round bye in the playoffs is HUGE. If any team were to take a week off because they expected to win the next week that would be retarded, and I think the Chargers are smarter than that.

                      Right, but they know they have a 99% chance of clinching the bye at home vs. Washington next week anyway,

                      And no it is not retarded, it is smart. Why risk injuries vs. a physical team like Tennessee with a cream puff up next?

                        No matter what, the Chargers still have many chances to clinch bye no matter what happens this week, as Bengals and Pats have been very shaky.

                          True...the pass D is the weakness. However, the Titans have only allowed two 300 yd passers in the last 8 games, compared to 5 in the first 6 games.

                              Because it's the NFL and nothing is certain. Washington came within a missed chip shot of beating New Orleans, they also were within a score of beating Philly and Dallas a few weeks ago, and the Chargers had a tough time with Cleveland. You take your wins whenever you get a chance.

                                  Well, would you agree that the Chargers won't be AS motivated as Tennessee?

                                  Emotion is crucial in these games, and a GOOD motivated team (unlike also-rans like Jacksonville that come up short when they need it the most) is a dangerous thing.

                                    Yes the Titans will be more motivated IMO, but the Chargers are not going to take it easy, they flat out don't like the Titans... and will probably be more motivated for this one then they were the last couple weeks.

                                      Well, if Tennessee opens up a quick lead, which is conceivable given the circumstances, I just don't think the Chargers will have their usual resolve to come back.

                                      Agree to disagree I guess.

                                      Good Luck and Happy Holidays!

                                          i think that sd would be providing themselves and every other playoff team a service to get ten out of the playoff hunt right now that and looking to clinch #2 seed and id say motivation in this 1 is pretty equal

                                            Meanwhile, game means nothing to Chargers because they will almost certainly clinch bye at home vs. Deadskins next week anyway.
                                            With all due respect LT, I totally disagree with the statement that this game means nothing to the Chargers. There are so many good reasons for why the Chargers will take this game very seriously:

                                            As a Team:

                                            1. Clinch the 2nd seed and bye right now, and rest their starters next week.
                                            2. Take out the hot Titans from reaching the playoffs, where they can be very dangerous.
                                            3. Preserve their perfect December record, and continue to establish themselves as the masters of the strong finish.
                                            4. Show themselves as truly a Superbowl contending team by performing on the national spotlight, where many will watch this game.

                                            For Key Charger Players:

                                            1. Push for Philip Rivers as a worthy candidate for the MVP race, by outshining the Titans candidate: Chris Johnson.
                                            2. Time for Tomlinson to step-up big, considering that all eyes are on Chris Johnson this year, a worthy young RB challenger to LT.
                                            3. It was the Titans who injured Merriman in 07, and Merriman has never been the same ever since, so look out for Merriman to play extra hard for this game, probably harder than against any other team.

                                            I just can not take seriously the comment that Chargers do not care for this game, or that it means nothing to them, or that it is not critical to them. It is absolutely critical, a key game within the conference.

                                              I will be betting a considerable amount on the Titans

                                              200$ action points bet with a cap of 21 points.

                                                Possibly pass up a ton of easy money? Whatever, the Chargers are one of the best bets in the last 32 games of the season.

                                                  I'm throwing a few bucks on Titans, probably ML.

                                                  Well, maybe not, I dunno.

                                                    Of course there is no such thing as easy money in this business. I wrote that to make a point about the game; I think it is the easiest choice of the weekend with the best line.

                                                    I might be wrong. We all know what happens when you think you've found the best line. Tennessee is a dangerous team and playing hot. But I don't think they are Super Bowl contenders and I do think the Chargers are. The Chargers are not going to take this game lightly and count on beating the Redskins next week to secure their playoff bye.

                                                    I've been gambling for about ten years... out of the past 29 years that I could have been. It has never been my profession and I don't claim to be an expert or a pro-level handicapper.

                                                      The first sentence is a trend. The second sentence is a historical comparison between the teams. The third sentence was a stat I definitely skewed by dumping in the Titans 59-0 loss to the Pats nine weeks ago. But at least it somewhat balances the 47-7 thumping the Titans gave the St. Louis Rams a couple weeks ago.

                                                      I didn't claim to be handicapping the game. I only said "these are few telling stats."

                                                      I'd welcome your analysis of the match-up, 4th & Stupid.

                                                          Are you guys really liking the Bolts? I like the Titans at home, and I think all the squares will also be on the Titans.

                                                          Chargers I think is the gamble play. +3 is good too cuz Titans might win by 2, screwing everybody but Vegas.

                                                          Maybe?

                                                            ^ I like the Bolts at +3.5 (spread plus hook), cause I think it's going to be a close game. If this thing goes into overtime, and gets decided by a field goal, then I'm covered either way. Whether the Chargers or Titans get the final 3 points, I will win the bet.
