SD Chargers -5

luclongley · 09-13-10, 01:50 PM

I agree that the chargers will win, but your reasoning makes little sense.
Your first statement literally contradicts your belief that they will cover, and who says without their starting left tackle, that theyll be as productive (Vincent's loss doesnt bother me as much because Gates is getting featured this game anyways).
Plus, Crenel and Charlie Weis weren't reject coaches, they both left for better and higher paying jobs.

I do agree that Cassel is a scrub QB though, and their o-line and d-lines are pretty weak, giving rivers all day to throw and the chargers' pass rushers plenty of time to get to Cassel. I've got the Chargers -4 (bookmaker)

Everyone is on chargers and line has dropped. It's a Monday night game so I would say Kansas city or no play. I think KC covers and possibly wins outright

good reading skills, I forgot to add this is why that slow starting tag will get erased.

luclongley · 09-13-10, 02:09 PM

I dont disagree ronjon. I just get concerned when norv turner is involved when I expect a trend to change. But I just got SD -4, so hopefully youre right

ronjon619 · 09-13-10, 02:10 PM

Norv is a playoff chocker.......he gets the job done in the regular season

Yea the line has dropped you just said it yourself.. The line is moving the wrong way that's all I'm saying and it favors Kansas city

ronjon619 · 09-13-10, 02:14 PM

there are guys on these boards that will line / spread talk other people to death. Gotta go with the better team. I'm not putting MY money on line movements. It does play a part, but it's not my decieding factor.

orangeheaven · 09-13-10, 02:15 PM

Definately KC is the play.

Chuck Sims · 09-13-10, 02:51 PM

Let me give some sharp advice. Look at the line and whichever team has value, make your bet. Bet SD -4. When KC was +6.5, that was your play.

When the Saints opened -3.5 vs Minn, the Saints was the play. When the line reached 6, I bet the Vikings +6. Both bets cashed.

Play smart.

Mr Windy City · 09-13-10, 02:54 PM

KC will give SD all they got tonight. Your reasoning doesn't make much sense.

we will see boss.

bretb27 · 09-13-10, 03:24 PM

the public is on KC that's why the line has dropped, I'm OK with going against the public in this

Plu$Money · 09-13-10, 03:31 PM

The public is on San Diego 75-25 not Kansas city

where did you get that from? every percentage site ive seen has at LEAST 75% on SD....did you blatantly make that up?

PuckCoach · 09-13-10, 03:40 PM

Home openers are tough to win for visiting teams. I remember when a weak Raven team beat the Raiders when Memorial Stadium opened. JETS

PuckCoach · 09-13-10, 03:41 PM

Sorry wrong thread.

bretb27 · 09-13-10, 04:07 PM

yeah my bad, i meant vegas is on KC, the lines dropping and SD is the heavy favorite on the publics side. I have 3 units on SD tonight at -4.5

OLBG Sports · 09-13-10, 04:29 PM

Good luck. I'm on the Charges!

DaAce · 09-13-10, 04:31 PM

Chargers

ebbearsfb1 · 09-13-10, 04:33 PM

vegas insider 85% are on chargers

jram68 · 09-13-10, 04:48 PM

i looking at chargers +- 24. I think its a good bet assuming the new RB is good enough to balance the passing game. I dont fear KC defense, but i do fear SD choking the first couple weeks of the season.

TomatoCan · 09-13-10, 05:14 PM

KC defense that was ranked 30th in yards allowed but returns 8 of 11 starters on defense. The will still have problems stopping the pass. Malcolm Floyd in the deep post will be a nice target with Vincent Jackson watching at home seeing his holdout value drop. Home Dogs 4-3 in Week 1 so far. Only GB covered -3 road chalk.

With you on SD -3.5 at Pinny. Cassel is still a journeyment good for 2 TOs in this game. GL

bonduforlife · 09-13-10, 06:34 PM

chargers win easy, kansas has no D

Sunde91 · 09-13-10, 06:47 PM

It's -4 across the board and hasn't been -5 in a week..very bad line for a road MNF game on the public side with RLM, unless you got +100 or better.

GL.

Better2Belucky · 09-13-10, 07:46 PM

I picked the Chargers. However, some very talented guys I compare my picks with (typically) chose the Chiefs. All of them... so that tells me somethings fishy. TREAD WITH CAUTION!!!

mv09 · 09-13-10, 08:20 PM

Opening Day at Arrow Head on Monday Night vs a depleted slow starting Chargers team? And you want to give me points?
Chiefs!!!!!!

Reasons why the bolts will cover.

They are notorious slow starters. With DEN and OAK both losing, they can sit a top of the division with this win.
Their GM is playing hardball with two stand out starters in McNeil and Jackson. The offense is under pressure to score and prove they can get the job done without those guys.
Matt Cassel is the second runner up in the starting QB lottery behind Drew Brees. If Brady does not go down for the season 2 years ago, Cassel would still be holding a clipboard and Brady's jockstrap. Also if Lamar Hunt would quit hiring New England reject coaches they would be better off.
The only bad thing is the spread as anything over 3 leaves the backdoor wide open. Hopefully this game is played with a 2TD lead as KC tries to play catch up all game long.

Bolts -5

I agree with all of your points I just hope they dont go out and make any bonehead calls late in the game and blow an easy win as they have been notorious for doing. I think taking the over may be a safer play if you are weary about this one.

Toronto-boy · 09-13-10, 08:46 PM

like San Diego today at Money Line

Shonner · 09-13-10, 08:48 PM

Like SD here...better team than the 4 pts its at now, not going to over think this one.

Vince Lombardi · 09-13-10, 08:53 PM

I like the Chargers! Why bet the Cheifs?

craig4nr · 09-13-10, 08:56 PM

SD should be able to pull this off. I am liking the under here also.

pavyracer · 09-13-10, 08:58 PM

Best play is San Diego -3 1H. They destroyed Chiefs last year in 1H. They will come out firing on all cylinders 1H and kill the game.
