PICK OF THE WEEK - CHARGERS OVER BENGALS
I've been agonizing ALL week on this one. Really wanted to take the home team Texans to cover the 10 1/2 against the Jags, but in the end I believe the Chargers is the right pick. Even though the Texans always plays the Jags tight, Gerrard scares me. He's a huge upgrade from Leftwich & the Jags have to be steaming from the embarrasing loss to us earlier. The Chargers have to have this game to stay even w/ the Broncos who play the lowly Raiders. L.T. rushed for 172 yds last week for a 9.6 avg w/ 3 TD's, expect him to nearly duplicate, at least in total yardage. The Bengals will have to play mistake free in this game to win it, & there seems to be problems w/ receivers mentally right now. Look for the Bengals to keep it close thru the first half when their D will start to wear down chasing L. T.. The Chargers need to cut down on their penalties - 12 last week vs Browns for 113 yds but didn't allow a TD till the game was aready decided w/ a minute to go. Schottenheimer won't let it happen 2 weeks in a row & Chad Johnson will blow his top in this game - a la T.O..

Texan's 'll cover...They NEED 3 wks of consistent solid play to show that Kubiak iz on to sumpthin' down in H-Town..
If we play well & keep it close, it'll be a moral victory. We need a good game for 4 quarters, & I get the feel that they are about ready to do it. A win would be the best game of our year so far. With 12 straight road game losses, it's about time we break the streak. We'll see........
Steve-o, did ya notice that w/ 1:30 left in the game & 4th & inches to go, Kubes called the running play to the right with my man E. (caveman) Winston doing the blow-out block to pick it up? Rt. Tkle. Z. Weigert was hurt. Been saying since beginning of season this guy needs to be there instead of Weigert, don't know why Kubes don't give this kid more reps.
the game pretty much went as I predicted except i didn't think the Bengals would score that many points against the chargers D, they almost let Bengals get too far ahead in first half. But LT bailed me out w/ 4 Td's after mid-way thru the 2nd qtr. to keep my streak intack.
