    Chargers are an easy bet on MNF

    Carson Palmer is a pick 6 machine. Rivers is going to air it out all day in OAK and wouldn't be surprised to see him throw for 400 yrds. Ronnie Brown will play good too and they have Meachum for the deep balls. Chargers O line isn't that great but Rivers isn't a pocket qb anyway. Block Seymore. Mccfadden will get his but Palmer will make the crucial mistakes and I think SD takes this one for sure. Rivers is always dominant against OAK.

    5 bills on the Chargers

    Too risky either way to bet large on this game the way both teams can be careless holding onto the football.

    However, gun to head, San Diego is the play.

    Offense looked smooth this pre season for the Bolts. Rivers might have a big year and shake off last year.

    I have the Chargers, too. They are too talented to underachieve forever, right? Like Dallas, they will feel the heat and pull out a road win.

    San Diego has a history of starting slow...especially under Norv. I like the Chargers too, but I don't think it's an "easy bet". GL!

    I was a Charger fan for far too long .... less of one now but still have some of that gene. The Chargers have some issues going into this but supposedly so do the Raiders. Not betting it but if I had to, and with perma-Norv a liability, I'd take the Raiders. Like the under more than the over as the Chargers will be trying to minimize offensive mistakes and playing it conservatively here, I think. Don't know if they can stop the Raiders running game though ..... or the passing game for that matter (Palmer hurt them last year and they have some fast people), so never-mind on the under.

    Typically I would agree SD is the play here but the fact that they do start slow makes me hesitate. Best of luck

    SD is starting a rookie on the O line that has ever played an NFL snap bc gaither is out, could be a long day for Rivers. Shaugnessey is no slouch on Oak and is def licking his chops with this matchup heading into tonight

    I'm on the other side here. I've been burned by Norm Turner TOO many times.

    Why do I keep seeing everyone say that? They started last season 4-1 beating both KC and Denver that doesn't seem like a "slow start" going 2-0 in the division

    I don't usually like to attack threads like this, but seriously, an easy bet? I am not saying Chargers may not win, but to say it is an easy bet is pretty ridiculous.

    Lot of injuries on the Chargers. Rivers playing with a bunch of scrubs and a one legged gates.

    I'll probably pass on this game.

    I like Rivers over 22.5 completions more.

    think they will be airing the ball out since Mathews is out..also a lot of screens. bubble screens to WR since the O line is hurting.

    I also think sd will pull this out. I think they make a conscious effort to get out of the gate fast. Wouldn't bet the house on though. Its just one game as Aaron Rodgers said yesterday with a shrug and roll of the eyes.

    Mike Harris is gonna suprise some people, Chargers D is way better than it has been since the Shawn Merriman days. Should be a great ball game.

    Chargers & Raiders combined for nearly 1,000 total yards in a wild game at the Coliseum to close out last season, and with both still plenty of question marks on the defensive end ~~ particularly in the secondary~~ a reprisal would hardly be surprising SBR members.That would seem to foretell well for the historically slow-starting Chargers,as Rivers gives San Diego an advantage over the up-and-down Palmer at the quarterback position. Where the Chargers will be minus their best weapon in Mathews and Oakland sports a definite difference-maker in McFadden.The Raiders seem to be in better shape on the offensive line in regards to protection.The Chargers offensive line will be without starting left tackle Jared Gaither in this game due to injury.Unfortunately or rather inevitably,Gaither suffered an injury setback which means undrafted rookie Mike Harris will start the game at left tackle. On the opposite side of the ball,the Raiders have arguably the best front four in football with Richard Seymour,Tommy Kelly,Matt Shaughnessy and Lamarr Houston.The Raiders d-line will be solid vs the run and will also cause problems for Rivers in the passing game.The deciding factor could come at running back McFadden he's primed for a big performance[ lights & action ]with the home town crowd on the Monday late night football show.McFadden racked up 614 yards on the ground through the first seven games last season before being sidelined and added another 154 yards on 19 catches. While he has been injury-prone so far in his career, he is full go heading into 2012 and has enjoyed success against AFC West foes in the past. He averages 5.5 yards per carry against teams in his division and has a favorable matchup for Week 1. McFadden did not face San Diego last season but should be considered as a solid option.The Raiders should be able to make Rivers uncomfortable enough in the pocket to back Allen's debut a potentially successful one.

    My Prediction: Raiders-1 [ Raiders 30, Chargers 24 ]

    Don't the chargers start out bad, historically?

    Also, they are missing their best offensive player.

    I have no angle on this game, thus no action, but I know sure as shit my money wont be on Norv Turner in week 1.
