The San Diego Chargers vs Green Bay Packers game at 1 PM EST sure looks to be a great game to watch on TV. Despite the fast start, the Pack will be hosting the San Diego Chargers with almost a third of their starting lineup banged up. This comes as great news to the Chargers coming off 14-38 beatdown on Sunday Night Football at the hands of the New England Patriots.
The Chargers walked into Foxborough stadium as slim +3 underdogs with revenge on their minds only to get manhandled. The Packers meanwhile have been looking extremely stout on both sides of the ball especially on offense after last week’s 35-13 point offensive explosion as +1 underdogs in New York.
The San Diego offense which was considered high-powered entering the season has sputtered out of the gate ranking 24th in the league and producing far too many turnovers. Star running back Ladainian Tomlinson has had a hard time finding running room behind a disappointing line that has limited Tomlinson to a pathetic 1.9 yards per carry. Online sportsbook SBG Global has the San Diego Chargers 5 point road favorites.
The Chargers are experiencing a transition period that has made the new look Norv Turner Bolts look ordinary. Their former offensive coordinator Cam Cameron knew all the strengths and weaknesses of his players while Turner is now just beginning to find them out. Will this be the game that San Diego breaks out with some offensive output?
Brett Favre has been throwing the ball like his old self and if the Chargers corners can’t make some plays, the old man could have himself a big day. Reduced juice sportsbook BetOnline.com has the Green Bay Packers +6 points as home underdogs. On paper San Diego is the better football team with big names like Phillip Rivers, Antonio Gates, Tomlinson and Shawn Merriman but the Packers have quietly become one of the best bets in football. Will this trend continue this Sunday?
