Jeff Scott Sports
3 UNIT PLAY
San Diego/ NY Jets Over 46
The Over is 10-2 in the Jets last 12 off a SU division loss, while the Over is 10-2 in San Diego's last 12 games following a ATS loss and 5-0 in their last 5 games when favored off a 1-3 point loss to a divisional opponent. With Merriman out for the Chargers they are beginning to resemble their teams of the early 80's when Dan Fouts was around, when they would put up 28 ppg, but also allow 28 ppg. The Chargers offense will be able to score on any defense this year, even if LT is hobbling, but the problem for this team is a defense that has allowed 32.5 ppg and 437 ypg in their 1st 2 games of the year. Yes Merriman was that much of a difference for this team. Tonight they take on a Jets team, with a QB that is known for finding a teams weakness and exploiting it. Brett Favre could have his best day as a Jet tonight. With LT nursing a sore toe look for QB Rivers (594 YP, 6 TD's, 1 INT, 122.5 QB Rating) to air it out and take aim at a Jets defense this is prone to give up some big plays. Both teams should be able to score on the others defense and that will lead to a game played in the 50's.

MARC LAWRENCE Double Perfect Never Lost Monday Night Key Play! - Monday - 9/22:
Play On: NY Jets
Note: When the Jets meet the Chargers in San Diego under the Monday Night lights they'll do so knowing QB Brett Favre is 5-0 SU and ATS on Monday nights against an opponent off a loss when the Over/Under total in the game is more than 44 points. That fits nicely with San Diego head coach Norv Turner's 0-8 ATS career mark off BB SU and ATS losses when facing a .500 or greater opponent. With the Chargers 1-10 ATS at home in September when playing off a SU and ATS loss, look for the Jets to get the cash here tonight.
