Friday prediction thread

Nobody started one so I guess I will again.

I'd feel much better if we weren't wiped out by injuries yet again. I think we squeak out a 30-27 game, holding on for a late win.

31-21 LAC.
My concern is Stafford and Kerryon

The injuries can definitely be a big factor as well as the time zone diff. In the end though I give us a bit more leeway as I think the Chargers are better competition than the Lions faced last week. 10 point victory 34-24.

34 - 20 Bolts win

[Bolt-O]

Chargers 27
Lions 20

Defense isn't quite there, but the Charger O is better than the Cards, and the TE's will pick up the slack for HH.

Oh, in honor of the esteemed lurker... QSmokey. He did this thread when he was active.

I am getting the vibe of a 30 to 21 game Chargers over the Lions. Chargers always play the Lions tough home and away.

[Joy Division]

30-24. Chargers win it in OT again! #heartattack

[Charge!]

31-21 LAC.
My concern is Stafford and Kerryon

Kerryon is a huge concern...... because we are horrible at run defense.....

Stafford is a career loser because one down he makes a great throw but then a play or 2 later he makes a bonehead decision and throws ball way off target or to the other team.... he is consistently inconsistent ....... this should be a good matchup for our pass rushers because he is a guy they can pressure and sack..... as long as we stuff the run or as long as our offense runs up a huge score forcing him to throw every down....

if we let detroit run for 150+..... like we did the colts then they have a shot......

[Charge!]

38-10 Chargers win with defense causing multiple turnovers.....

38-10 Chargers win with defense causing multiple turnovers.....

agree that our D might have themselves a game.... am already on the books for a 24-7 Chargers victory.

Kerryon has explosive acceleration.

Another guy, TJ Hockensen. Should have been top 5 in the draft.

I like our Oline matchups here.

The Chorus Line vs Chunky Style.

With so many injuries and an OL that struggles in pass pro, I feel the odds 50-50 for a win. But this is an experienced, gutsy team that has learned how to carve out the close wins under ALynn. So I am going with the Chargers 24-20. If M Will plays and is healthy enough to contribute I will increase that by 3 points - 27-20 Bolts.
