| Email Me SAN DIEGO - As the San Diego Chargers get ready to take on the Denver Broncos Sunday, some fans and team staffers are talking about rituals or superstitions they believe are keeping this winning streak alive.

Christmas decorations in the team's equipment room went up right before the team's winning streak began, "and they're going to stay up," said equipment manager Bob Wick.

Legendary Ocean Beach burger restaurant Hodad's received a call from the Chargers about having a Friday feast before the game against Oakland.

"We got a call to come out and serve burgers the Friday before the Oakland game; that Sunday they won, so we have been asked back every Friday," said Hodad's owner Mike Hardin. "We're turning out to be their good luck charm."

Meanwhile, several fans revealed their ongoing rituals during the Chargers' run.

"Oh, I have to deck the whole family out in Charger gear; the kids, the husband, myself, got to deck them out," said fan Kristina Sandoval.

Chargers fan Danielle Beck-Stack said via Facebook that if she doesn't watch the game, the team will win.

However, Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers doesn't have any superstitions.

"I know some players don't change their socks and that sort of thing, but if I don't eat the same thing or find the right wristband will I be in trouble? Nah," Rivers said.

Have to have the jersey on 15 mins before the game. During playoff time, have to keep my Christmas tree with Chargers ornament up until they lose.

Fire hazards are not lucky! Hope you have an aluminum tree!

I must wear my collegiate blue undies and my yellow "Property of the Chargers" hoodie -- and while the undies may be laundered, the hoodie must not!

I try to do whatever I can to jinx it.

Reverse psychology

On gamedays, I bathe in WD-40.

At halftime, I dress up like Gene Simmons and breathe fire.

Did you guys know that WD-40 is flammable? That sure was an eye-opener.

Here lately is been 1) Stay out of the 'Friday's prediction thread' 2) Stay out of the 'Gameday thread'. Can't comment in either until the following Monday.

After a loss, the shirt I was wearing cannot be worn for the next game. Losing streaks can be hell on a Chargers wardrobe. Luckily we don't have many of those. After a win, I wear the same shirt the following game until such point that it is rotated out based on a loss.

This year I decided to have no rituals and it seems to be working. So my ritual is no rituals. It's much easier.

At kickoff start sweating like a whore in church.
That's basically it.





Except for the tinfoil underwear.

HOCKKKKKKK!!!11!!

I've been wearing my 55 jersey the last 5 weeks, that's been good luck, and I actually have a lucky chair. We do well while I'm sitting there. It's only crazy if it doesn't work! I brewed in my Rivers' jersey last Saturday, so I might have to that again this Saturday.

I start the morning like the scrib from The Name of the Rose movie and flog my self with a knoted up Ryan Leaf jersey that has finishing nails and barbed wire driven through it.

I have a dog named Norv and I kick her every time we are sacked.

I have a T-rex toy that I melt with a lighter after Melven Ingram just misses on any play.

I have a Weble that wobbles and does not fall down and I wobble it every time Weddle makes a play.

I usualy am in a straight jacket before the game is over. (Not my choise, but it has happened so often under Norv its now tradition...)
