Two teams that are going in opposite directions will meet when the Houston Texans vs San Diego Chargers meet in a late Sunday game in week 8. The San Diego Chargers have outscored their opponents 69-17 in their last two games and have finally found a nice rhythm on offense. The Chargers, 3-3 ATS, are coming off a bye week after whipping on the Oakland Raiders 28-14 at home as -9.5 point favorites. Houston, 3-4 ATS, lost a heartbreaker last week 36-38 at home as -2 favs. Sportsbook.com has the San Diego Chargers as -9 favorites at home.
The Chargers offense has been back in gear with QB Phillip Rivers throwing the ball well and the bolts have now added speed to the receiving corps with the trade for WR Chris Chambers. LaDainian Tomlinson has been running like, well, Ladainian Tomlinson which has opened up the play action pass for Rivers. Tomlinson should have a big game against a Chargers team that is allowing 4.7 yards per carry. One key match-up in this game will be the Houston DB Dunta Robinson covering Chambers one-on-one.
Houston QB Matt Schaub should play this week despite being banged up but he hasn’t been playing the same since losing game-breaking WR Andre Johnson. Another reason the Texans offense has struggled has been the disappointing play of a running game that is averaging only 75.6 yards per game. The Chargers could be without their big run-stuffing DT Jamal Williams which could help the Texans stagnant running game get going. Sportsbook.com has the Total on the Houston Texans vs San Diego Chargers game at 45 points.
The weather in San Diego will be California perfect around 70 degrees and sunny. The Chargers team has been distracted by fires in California will that affect their gameplay?
