I would think there are better games to look at IMHO. For this one it seems there are too many variables...
Buffalo is coming off a bye, and will be all rested. Edwards was also fortunate for the extra time and healed from a concussion. I'm not sure if concussions just go away though, so I have to agree with your "fuzzy" point, tack on the worry of getting hit again and you get a nervous QB. and quite possibly another cameo appearance from Losman... Oy.
As well, Buffalo hasn'tpalyed a division game yet, and after this one they have 3 in a row against 3 teams capable of beating them.. YAH YAH..even NE-sorta..
Juron is a good coach and gets his team focussed every week, but I can't help thinking that he at least spent some time thinking about those games over the last 2 weeks.
On the SD side, we have a team that played well last week, who might very well be over rated as a result. They are travelling to the east for an early game which is always tough, and LT is still not 100%. Keep in mind that they go to London to play New Orleans the following week. That's a 6 hour flight (or so) right after a 4 hour hour flight. Seems they're getting the scheduling corn-holing here.. After London they have their bye week, then KC at home
So you gatta ask yourself, which, if any of the 2 games can and will SD play harder in and be ready for.. Would they rather try for back to back wins here or go into London 3-4 with even more jet-lag and the ever present freak-ass weather happening at Wembly Stadium???

The more I look at this game guys the more I like the under. Just have a hard time seeing how this game racks up 6 TD's and a FG to put it over the 44.5 , BUFF's defense is strong and should hold this SD team who as mentioned above has been poor in the redzone. Not convinced BUFF can put up alot of points either except for maybe a big play off special teams but i'm willing to take that chance. Could see this being a FG battle..
Also what side would the under favor you think?? Probably Buff?? I'm predicting 19-13 Bills in a physical, grind-out type game.

Chargers are leaving tomorrow with their bags packed for a 10-day trip. They can talk all they want about not being distracted by the London trip, but I do'nt see how they can't be. THeir wives are going too. Schobel being out really helps SD though. Buff secondary is weak and with time to throw PR should pick them apart.
