Now i'm going to break down the remaining schedule for the San Diego Chargers and predict how they will fare the rest of the year.
Nov. 10th Oakland... The Oakland Raiders are still trying to figure out who they are as a team with new QB Carson Palmer at the helm, last week the Raiders gave up a ton of yards on the ground to Willis McGahee and Tim Tebow, look for Ryan Mathews to look pretty good and Philip Rivers to pick apart a battered secondary. WIN 35-17
Nov. 20th @Chicago... Here i see the Chargers taking a hit against a good Bears defense. The Chargers can (and will) score the ball on offense, i just think that they will be able to do enough. I see a loss here. LOSS 21-14
Nov. 27th Denver... Denver reports Tebow is on a short leash and they will put in Brady Quinn if necessary... really? Brady Quinn? I would rather have Tebow... (of course i think Orton is the better QB out of the three anyway) I don't see Denver's defense being able to stop the Chargers offensive attack. San Diego gets the victory here at home. WIN 33-17
Dec. 5th @Jacksonville... This is kinda nice for San Diego, not having to travel to cold country in December at least one week... Jacksonville is a revived team with QB Blaine Gabbert and RB Maurice Jones-Drew... Jacksonville is going to score some points here.. Just not enough. WIN 27-24
Dec. 11th Buffalo... RB Fred Jackson for the Bills is having a Pro Bowl year, and QB Ryan Fitzpatrick has played lights out for most of the year. Buffalo's defense can ball for sure. (see game against New England) I see Buffalo sneaking a win here in San Diego. LOSS 34-24
Dec. 18th Baltimore... To make this short and sweet, i see the Ravens D putting the hurt on Philip Rivers in this one, even with the Chargers at home i don't think they have enough to take it to the Ravens. I'm seeing a loss here also. LOSS 17-10
Dec. 24th @Detroit... We've all seen that the Lions are a legitimate playoff team this year, and they may be fighting off the other NFC NORTH competition to let this game slide, especially at home. They are gonna make it real tough for Philip Rivers and company. LOSS 21-14
Jan 1st @Oakland... if you were to look at my last post on the Oakland Raiders i predicted an Oakland victory at home. Even with a playoff bid on the line, the Chargers will be coming off three rough losses in a row before heading to Oak town. Gonna be a tough loss to swallow. LOSS 27-24
Summary.... Currently San Diego is 4-4, i'm predicting them going 7-9 with the final loss to the Raiders putting them out of the playoffs and giving the Chargers their first losing record in a long time. Be prepared Chargers fans. But believe me football fans there is always hope in the NFL. Any one game can alter the direction of a program. I think San Diego will be the most talented team with a losing record.
I dont know what the chiefs schedule looks like but I think the chargers have the easiest schedule going forward. I don't believe in the chiefs anyway and I think they will start to falter. I think teams have started figuring out fitzpatrick making the bills a winnable team. I can see the chargers and raiders splitting games unless the raiders are out by the end and have no fight left. I see the chargers at probably 8-8 maybe 9-8 depending on the raiders games. The raiders unfortunately have some tough games I see them at 7-9 just missing the playoffs unless they can get an upset or beat the chargers twice I see kansas city dropping off and maybe even finish worse than the broncos. I hope I'm wrong about this though. Go raiders.
ReplyDelete(Dallin) well after today i agree with ya the chiefs are falling apart there D line and O line are just terrible (as Charles Barkley would say) and with out those performing well it makes it have for them to get anything going. I think the raiders will win the division the chiefs remaining schedule is scary the broncos are going to keep it up and the chargers arn't has good as we thought they were and turner is a bad head coach. the afc west is just a bad division this year.
