This could be a good game, or Chargers blowout.

 

[HisIceness]

Chargers in a somewhat close one.

I'm pretty sure as is tradition this will be the Saturday afternoon game since it's in Houston.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

Chargers easily.

That means the Chargers will make it way harder than it needs to be and might even actually lose it outright.

It's funny because it's true. I still cannot believe that chokejob in Jacksonville two years ago.

 

[Unholy Diver]

Houston in a tight one, after 3 good wins in a row LA is due to charger one up

You just can't trust them no matter how good they are on paper. Ever.

 

[The Note]

I think the Texans will pull it off. Don’t think either team is long for the postseason but if everyone’s on the Chargers that’s usually a kiss of death.

 

[Super Fadio Bro]

Chargers

Chargers

I think Earthworm Jim is stronger than Chargering.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Harbaugh actually knows what he's doing. Doesn't mean the Chargers are now Charger proof but I think they pull it out. Don't really know what to make of the Texans but Stroud could totally go off or stink the joint up.

 

[BB88]

With how bad Texans have looked and their key injuries Chargers should be the clear favourites

The past shouldn’t matter because the coaching is different

 

[PanthersPens62]

Chargers 23 Texans 17

I probably lean towards the Chargers as well. Not sure what is up with stroud over the past few weeks. He's been way off.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Should be a good one.
Chargers by 5

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Chargers

 

[Ghetty Green]

I'm interested to see how Herbert responds to the epic all time choke job in Jacksonville

 

[Voight]

It's funny because it's true. I still cannot believe that chokejob in Jacksonville two years ago.

I'm not a Chargers or Jags fan but I vividly remember watching that game at a bar in Ft Lauderdale. I was with a relative of mine, I didn't predict they'd lose but I wasn't so sure they wouldn't choke even after being up by that much. It is the Chargers after all.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Chargers in a somewhat close one.

I'm pretty sure as is tradition this will be the Saturday afternoon game since it's in Houston.

To be fair, that was when Houston barely squeaked in to the playoffs winning bad division. And everyone know they were a bad team with no QB. Only bad division part is true now.

 

[Jovavic]

Not feeling great about this match up, hopefully its Slowik's last game, 31-10 Chargers

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

I fear that LAC front is going to have their way with that horrible Oline. Chargers win this by 10. I think that Houston D will do just enough to make the score not look too lopsided. I'll go 27-17 LA.

 

[Halladay]

I may try to go this game. Not alot of enthusiasm here and rightfully so. The Chargers should win.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Chargers will win this game.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Texans win 21-18

I think this one will be a defensive slugfest. Both teams play around their D and both teams rely on their QBs to make a big play here or there to generate offense. When it comes down to it, I anticipate Stroud making the big throw in this game more than Herbert does. I trust Houston’s secondary to lock down the Chargers and their lack or a dynamic playmkaing threat. Also think Nico Collins makes a big catch at a big time to help the Texans edge them out. And honestly, my main reason for picking against the Chargers is the fact that EVERYONE is acting like this game is a foregone win for them. I know Harbaugh is there now, but the Chargers will Charger until proven otherwise.
