When the San Diego Chargers host the Kansas City Chiefs in NFL week 4 it will be a game between two teams with elite running backs that have been terrible this season. San Diego's LaDanian Tomlinson has been far from his usual MVP form by gaining a scant 130 yards in his first three games. Kansas City's Larry Johnson held out of training camp and has been only slightly better than Tomlinson by gaining only 140 yards while admittedly being out of shape. The oddsmakers at Bodog.com have the underdog Kansas Citty Chiefs at +12.5 points .
This game should come down to which one of these backs will break out with a big game and help their respective teams that both rely on running the ball to create offense. Last week the Chiefs got some help from their passing game when QB Damon Huard discovered he has a young receiver that has some vertical leap in Dwayne Bowe. Bowe will test a Chargers secondary that has been suspect. For San Diego to hide their defensive warts they must harass Huard with an aggressive pass rush against the Chiefs weak O-line.
Chargers QB Phillip Rivers has nice statistics this season but it doesn't tell the whole story. Rivers has been inaccurate and has made some bone headed decisions that have hurt his team. Rivers must live up to his vast ability if the Chargers are to make forward progress. The line on this game opened at -14 chalk for San Diego but has moved a full 2-2.5 points down to -11.5 with players backing the Chiefs . The line move does not come as a surprise with San Diego's struggles but is the line tilted toward the Chargers favor now playing at home against a division rival?
