Lions (+ 3 1/2) at San Diego (9-13-15)

[oldunclemark]

FOX Network 4:05 EST, 85 degrees and sunny (what else is new) in Dan Diego over-under 46

Phillip (I just got paid) Rivers (379 of 570, 4,286 yards, 31 TDs, 18 INTs) will go without Antonio gates (suspended) but he's still got Keenan Allen and Malcolm Floyd.

New OG Orlando Franklin will help.

Lions welcome in Haloti Ngata in the middle but they will bank on Mathew Stafford (363 of 602, 4,257 yards, 22 Tds) going long to Calvin Johnson (71 catches, 1,077 yards and Golden Tate (99 carries, 1,31 yards).

I like San Diego and the 'over' and I dont know which one I like better...

Lions weren't good on the road last year and I don't think they will be today

Just can't wait for game time - it's been a LONG off season!   I live in the Rough fire area in the California foothills, so this will be a nice distraction from the smoke, fires and stress (we are not in danger, but many of our friends in the higher mountain area have had to evacuate).

I didn't know you lived THERE, 'G' Hope everybody is alright.

We cant even imagine what that's like back here.

....Big win for the Chargers....

Patrick Robinson of all people had an interception return today. 

 

 

That Patrick Robinson who couldn't do anything with the Saints.

It was a good game, considering how many poor plays we had.  Love when we have a balanced attack.  We had 30 runs and rivers threw for 404 on top of that.  That gives you the TOP advantage that's especially killer in the 105 degree heat on the field.  

 

Fun game!

It must suck being a lions fan.

Anyone that is playing Fantasy football, here's a run that went for a td and was called back as his right elbow just barely touched the ground but it shows the kind of player the Melvin Gordon will be: https://vine.co/v/eFImaiZUeuq

 

He's not getting the attention yet, but is starting to get comfortable - I think he's going to be a solid back with great explosive potential and unbelievable balance.

Rivers threw for 400 yards..in a game where his team needed most of them
