I have the Chargers -1 and -.5 on two of my teasers. Not sure about the 6.5 points though - people generally still down on the Chargers

I am not a Norv fan but I am still a minor Charger fan so maybe I am biased

Junior Seau day, home opener
Gates injured but it's 'just' ribs; should play but we don't know severity
Jammer plays with broken hand, CB Wright is out
Chargers have the undrafted rookie at LT and that Tenn speed rusher
Mathews could get some carries as he has supposedly healed well from the collarbone injury but Chargers hinting no; could be a ruse
Team played mistake-free against the Raiders and Rivers threw no interceptable balls
One more week of practice between Rivers and Meachem/Royal
Charger's D actually looked good for a change last week and was doing swarm tackling
Jake Locker still inexperienced (but I am a fan of his) though he did throw with confidence Vs. the Pats
Chris Johnson doesn't look the same; some say it's the line but he doesn't look quick to me
Tenn a bit thin at receiver; Britt could be rusty and get limited playing time
