**wrong team favored take CHARGERS +2 1/2

[milwaukee mike]

the chargers have won their last 3 games by at least 20 points each, looking dominant.
the lions have won their last 2, but both were squeakers that came down to the last possession.

detroit's defense has been awful the last 6 games, giving up an average of 31 pts/game. on the flip side the chargers defense keeps getting better, holding the last 4 opponents to 16, 14, 10, and 14.

so this is one of those matchups where one team looks tired heading into a possible playoff spot while the other team looks awesome.

[BIGDAY]

Completely agree. 32-24 Chargers. GL Mike

[k13]

Lions are the play, don't waste too much money on this Mike.

[tanner40]

Chargers are the play. Lions will fold.

[unluckysob]

damn chargers do same thing every year---wait till very end to turn it on----cost me a future parlay bet.

[hanco21]

Good luck Mike, I think the Chargers are running into a buzzsaw this week.

[hanco21]

The Chargers are terrible on the road, They got lucky and got Jacksonville under a coaching change so they werent well prepared. The Chargers will lose by 14+ points. Dont buy into the Chargers hype even though they played there best game of the season last week.

[RyanLeafOfBets]

I agree with that too... I kinda wanna just bet the ML

[Casey71]

San Diego due for a letdown.

[EastSideLV]

San Diego due for a letdown.

most of the season has been a let down for the Chargers?? I think Rivers continues to roll and torches the Lions garbage secondary. Chargers by 7+

[Big Bear]

now if we can just get Trace to agree with this play and Landers to stay the fukk away from it

[DrStale]

I don't get this line either...Chargers by 10.

[TheLock]

It's a TARP boys

Find another spot

[p19101]

Chargers ML is the play for sure...

[frostno98]

Chargers get three big wins and everyone expecting them to dominate the Lions. The Chargers passing D is still terrible, I'm still trying to figure out how they will stop Calvin from dropping 200 yards on them.

[kfranz31]

Detroit is in a tailspin.... Before last week they were counting them down mow all of a sudden the are ready to rule the division.... Chargers have finally got it going as will be norv turner

i think you meant "trap"?

seems like i will need a tarp after the game because it will be raining money on my head!

[k13]

The line is spot on, not sure why all the confusion about it.

You have a 35% chance to win betting on the Chargers.

then give me +180 on the chargers money line, -180 is only 64.29%

[milwaukee mike]

the line is "spot on" based on total year sagarin ratings (det 23.46 sd 22.26 home field advantage 2.04).

but if you go by the last 4 games the chargers are a 7 point better team than the lions.

i think i'll go with the team playing their best football at the end of the year that hasn't allowed more than 16 pts the last 4 games.
vs the team that looks tired defensively and has given up AT LEAST 27 points in each of their last 6 games.

[k13]

then give me +180 on the chargers money line, -180 is only 64.29%

I'll give you +150 if chargers stay a dog, if it closes +3 at pinnacle/greek then I'll even give you +200.

[Sunde91]

Lions are the play, don't waste too much money on this Mike.

and if public were on Lions Chargers would be the play

iifold made a thread to post your 60% winners. enough talk now

[dredmahawkus]

This line is one of those that are way too good to be true! so good the second after I made a max bet I started regretting it because it will probably lose.

well I am on the chargers +3 .....Its just seems like way too good of a bet....if they lose it will be by a late drive and a last second fg. if you can still get +3 I think thats the safest bet on the board this week.

[Speedy88]

This game could go either way. Both have elite offenses, both have average defenses. I always give Detroit a slight edge just because how good their pass rush is. This game will come down to how well the SD O-line can hold up. Line seems about right since Detroit is at home. I'm sure if it were in SD, we'd probably see SD -2.5.

[Big Bear]

chargers defense is legit

[Speedy88]

chargers defense is legit

In my opinion they are a pretty average defense. Did you see how much they struggled to get off the field against Baltimore in the first half. I know they blew out Baltimore, but up until the game started to fall away from the Ravens, they Chargers defense couldn't get a stop on 3rd down.

Their defense will give up at least 27-35 points to Detroit.

[Big Bear]

Jammer vs Johnson should be a great matchup

[TheMoneyShot]

Looks like a LIONS TRAP to me. -2.5 at Ford Field???

Wake up gentlemen... San Diego easily.

[milwaukee mike]

I'll give you +150 if chargers stay a dog, if it closes +3 at pinnacle/greek then I'll even give you +200.

holy crap i'll take it

how many points?

how about 300 to win 450 or 300 to win 600 if it closes +3 or above?

[billysink]

Jammer vs Johnson should be a great matchup

Quentin Jammer has absolutely no shot of covering Calvin Johnson 1 on 1. He gives up 5 inches and 40 pounds to CJ.

If Jammer gets no help from Eric Weddle he will be torched to ashes.

That is the problem for the Chargers. Everyone gets so gooey about the Chargers and there last five games and the usual December surge.

Cap the fukkin game. Games against a third string Jacksonville team, a Buffalo team that quit weeks ago and a good matchup in Baltimore have jack shit to do with this weekends game against Detroit.

The Chargers have faced two offenses that spread the field the way the Lions do and have been torched badly in both.

Handicap the matchup boys, not the hype you read in the papers.

[Speedy88]

Agreed, Jammer is no threat to take Megatron out of the game. Jammer has definitely lost a step over the past couple years. If the Chargers are smart, they'll shadow a safety over the top all game long on Megatron.

[tripp]

Really disagree here. Chargers are the "square" play after an impressive SNF beatdown of the Ravens. Lions still more well-rounded team and they take this game at home. SD being vastly overrated after one game.

And if they do who is going to cover Pettigrew and Scheffler when the Lions are in a 3 wide two tight end set?

They use that a lot.

You see a bit of a problem here??

You can say the same thing about the other side. Lets be honest, outside of the Lions D-line, their defense sucks. Chargers have just as many weapons as the Lions. Only difference is SD can run the ball, the Lions can't. I do agree that Megatron requires more attention than any other WR in the NFL, but the Lions are going to have their hands full with Vincent Jackson, Malcolm Floyd, Gates, and Mathews/Tolbert.

The over is the real play here.

yeah that unstoppable detroit offense has scored less than 20 points 5 times in the last 9 games, including less than 20 against gb/no

chargers have held last 4 opponents to 2 tds or less, that continues here
