San Diego (+2) at Houston (11-27-16)

[oldunclemark]

1 p.m. EST Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon (no sideline cutie) on CBS

  over-under 46

 

San Diego QB Phillip (Old Man) Rivers (229 of 369, 2,886 yards, 20 Tds, 11 INTs) has had 2 weeks off so RB Melvin Gordon (217 carries, 838 yards, 9 Tds_ will be rolling)

WR Tyrell Williams (43 catches, 720 yards, 4 Tds) has made a lot off relatively few catches.

San Diego has the No. 3 offense in the NFL...and 228 first downs (22.8 per game)

 

Houston just needs to win 'em all at home and they';re 5-0 so far with Big Brock Osweiler (216 of 363, 2,061 yards , 12 Tds, 10 INTs)

DeAndre Hopkins (50 catches, 540 yards) had 100 catches last year.

RB Lamar Miller (192 catches, 824 yards) will face an SD defense that has allowed just 875 yards rushing all year

Without all-pro JJ Watt (out for the year), Houston has just 19 sacks...but they have allowed just 200 yards passing a game.

 

Houston (6-4) is 9-7 if they win the 3 remaining home games (SD, Jacksonville and Cincinnatti) but SD has scored 25 or more 8 times. The Texans have scored 23 or less eight times.    If Denver (7-3) beats KC (7-3), SD (4-6) will be 2 games out of a playoff spot with a win. SD has lost twice to Denver. The Chargers can only realistically catch KC, who they host on New Year's Day.

This isn't a good matchup for the Texans..I like Phillip Rivers to keep it close.....If you can get 3..I'd take SD

Don't like the over because of Brock...Dont like the under because of Phiilip Rivers.....at +2, I'd leave it alone

[oldunclemark]

Jadeveon Clowney and Vince Wolfolk are game time decisions for the Texans..

 

..Former Bronco and Viking Ronnie Hillman may make his debut for San Diego

[2006Coltsbestever]

No sideline cutie for this one, that is interesting?

[2006Coltsbestever]

I'll say 23-20 Chargers.

[oldunclemark]

Is my use of the phrase 'sideline cutie' somewhat sexist???

we need that........If Houston end up 8-8, I now the Colts can get there.

I'm not too proud to take a playoff berth and a home game at 8-8

[runthepost]

24 to 17. If Lamar Miller gets above 120 yards Houston. He gets under that.. Chargers

Rematch vs KC possibly

[runthepost]

Put then KC will have Houston at that time. Houston vs AC is a dreadful matchup

No. I thought it was funny but who knows now days, some people get offended by anything.

[2006Coltsbestever]

I still think it will take 9-7 to win the Division.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Lets say we get in at 9-7 and get the 4 Seed. Who would you rather want to play Oakland, Denver, or KC? The game would be at Indy. I know I am looking way ahead.

How about 'Gridiron goddess'  or 'football fraulein' ?

Oakland..they haven't been in the playoffs in this century and they lead the league in penalties

 Goddess is a compliment to women IMO. I have never heard of Football Fraulein?

[oldunclemark]

 You want to play Denver because Trevor Siemian has no experience but we cant block that defense

If we have more than 2 turnovers in that game we lose

[19colt]

The Chargers really need to win this one. Houston is good at home even with their terrible QB. Will be an interesting game and easily the game I'll be paying the most attention to. 

[AZColt11]

I think the Bolts can win this one.  They are 2nd in scoring.  If they can get to like 24 they may have it because Houston is just not good offensively.  And the Bolts can win on the road as evidenced by their earlier win in Hotlanta.

[BloodyChamp]

Without looking it up, I'm sure this is virtually an elimination game for the Chargers even if it's not mathematically. They lost to the Colts so a win vs the Texans is even more important. If they win they're very much alive because they'll beat the Buccs who beat the Chiefs. Then they have to beat the Chiefs. That leaves the Raiders but I won't touch that yet.

 

The Colts obviously need it. If it happens and Luck comes back then the Colts will be dangerous imo.

 

Rivers might be my 2nd favorite current player after Luck so I hope they win.

Did you notice the line has moved to SD being a solid 21/2 point favorite ?

[oldunclemark]

No I didnt.....that's a big jump..somebody knows something about the Texans today 

[runthepost]

7-0 texans

[BloodyChamp]

Also wouldn't it be in the Colts best interest for the Jags to win today since it's not like they'll win out? That way 1 more team realistically competing for the 6th seed would be 1 more game behind. I feel sorry for Rex though lol!

[2006Coltsbestever]

7-7

[snkdy]

Would be nice if San Diego could do us a solid.

[Colt Overseas]

Man I wish we signed Hayward last off season. Alot of people tipped us to get him too, would have been alot better than Robinson, for not much more money.

[2006Coltsbestever]

14-7 Chargers, Rivers is on fire! Big Brock got Picked off and Rivers just threw another TD.

[jseg18]

Let's go Chargers! Ha

*

[2006Coltsbestever]

14-7 at Half. Chargers lead.

[oldunclemark]

SD doing us a VERY big favor.

 

'The Pagano connection!!!

[2006Coltsbestever]

Yeah so far 21-10 Chargers but they have been known to blow leads.

I think it was like SD -1.5 for most of the week. So not a huge move today , although 1.5 to 2.5 is significant .

[19colt]

So glad Houston signed Brock. Will hurt their cap next year too. 

[19colt]

Chargers gonna Charger

You and I called it all along that he was Average at best. I see them at 8-8 and we will beat them here and I stand by that.

You're right..It started at (+2) for what I saw but it swung quickly.....why do you think?

 

For a game with one team at home and at 6-4..

..and the other on the road at 4-6..and the 4-6 team is favored at game time.

 

..what did they see in the Mexico game?
