This is going to be an interesting one.  The Chargers are banged up and traveling cross country to face a team they haven’t beat since 1982.  These teams statistically matchup quite well against one another, especially when you look at the defensive stats.  But what I think this one comes down to is that the Chargers have been much better offensively.  The Dolphins struggled incredibly hard against the Jags and I think the Chargers might put up a better defensive fight than Jacksonville did.  Until I see this Dolphins offense gel, there is no way I can feel confident that the Dolphins will be able to score more points than the Chargers in this one.  Even if it is in Miami.

The Dolphins defense is no slouch, but they will have their hands full attempting to slow down Rivers.  This Chargers offense has been able to move the chains and Brandon Oliver is a tough little dude to stop (Sproles 2.0).  I think this one will be close, considering the factors that the Chargers have to face, but it’s hard not to like the Chargers as underdogs in this one.  They have a great chance to win this game in Miami and any time you hear that about an underdog you have to roll the dice on them.

CHARGERS 24 – DOLPHINS 20

FANTASY BEAST – BRANDON OLIVER (NOT AFRAID OF DONALD BROWN BEING HEALTHY)
