i cant believe what i see here. everyones jumping on the dolphins bandwagon after the game got moved to another location. well, pay to win is going the other way and taking the dog here. matchup of two run-oriented teams means it could be a field goal battle. and in that situation i will take 2 field goals. miamis rushing defense aint that good, or not as good as there numbers tell us, and this will be the best running back they face so far this season. the chargers are 9-0 ats as dogs with +ry differential and miami is 0-5 ats as fav with -ry differential. and i do think sd will outrush the dolphins as they are hot in that departement and the dolphins are not,. as for the firestorm, the emotional factor can go both ways. you can say the chargers will not be thinking about this game with there family members staying in san diego. but you can also say they will play there hearts out for the city of san diego. i dont wanna try to predict that. i m trying to pick the ats winner and i think it will be the san diego chargers +6.
i have to disagree but thanks for your comments. actually its all about how many touches he gets,...so far thiss eason when having 18- rushing attempts, sd averages just over 80 yards rushing and sd is 0-3 ats... but when he has 26+ rushing attempts sdg averages 194 yards and the chargers are 2-1 ats. when you have to face a team like miami, you have to do the same thing they are doing and thats run the ball and control the clock. i think the chargers coaching stuffs realize that and they will give the ball to lt early and often.
Intertops is sitting at 6.5 but I wonder how long that will last. I was thinking the same thing about the Bolts being valued with the line askewed like it is thanks to moving the game to a neutral site. The QB situation for Miami kind of throws it for a loop too. I don't know this one is starting to feel like more of a crap shoot. I really think the Under may be the better play tonight. Running teams eat clock and both team's defenses are decent. Hmmmm....
NFL.com says Griese is a definite go for tonight over Fiedler.
Couple thoughts...Fins have great run defense because theyhave terrible pass defense and everybody passes on them first and then runs...2nd thought..Griese may be better than Fielder anyway...did decent job in Denver...3rd thought , SD defense not very good in total..
so with all this in mind..Miami and Over
One think I like is Miami's ability in this game to play 1v1 on the outside. Madison or Surtain can cover Boston, which lets miami bring 8 guys up to eye Tomilson. Miami should be pretty solid and hold to SD to 16 pts or right around there. SD has no d and gives up 20+ all the time. Miami should have no trouble running the ball. Miami also NEEDS to win and I would think will be in a bad mood after last week
griese is not a good qb.......be careful with that "griese is better than fiedler" analogy....if griese was any good he`d still be in denver....with all the weapons in denver,griese couldn`t get it done....the guy gets shook real easily....
not to say he may not come out and light a bad san diego defense up....but,he`s certainly not the long term answer....
