The chargers go into week3 with a Monday night game at the Q and the revitalized (or lack-there-of) Favre lead J-E-T-S team. Many people are saying this is a must-win game for the Bolts… well I say… damn right it is! They’re not in a whole lot of trouble, but only a few teams have ever started the season 0-3 and made the playoffs – especially in what is arguably the toughest division in the NFL. Hosting the hapless Jets should be a relatively uncomplicated game – just pressure Favre. The key matchup will be between Antonio Cromartie and Jets receiver Jerrico Cotchery. Cromartie was lit up against the Broncos, where Brandon Marshall pulled in 18 passes from Cutler. It looks like Antonio needs to forget his record setting season of a year ago and go back to playing hard instead of attempting to intercept every pass thrown to his man.
The next key matchup will be with the big run-stopper Jamal Williams holding the middle and Thomas Jones to minimal yardage. Finally, Rivers is hot – RED hot! If he can control the game like he has been the past two weeks, the Bolts have a good chance to beat the Vegas 8½ point odds. The key is for Rivers to continue to put up numbers in the TD column, and not the INT column.
