San Diego 16 point favorite vs KC earlier this week. A bit excessive? (1 Viewer)

I know KC isn't a great team, but Thigpen's been playing great the last 2 weeks. And is there anyone who doesn't think Jamaal Charles will run on SD? Anyone think this -16 line is a bit excessive considering they went to NY and only lost by 4 to the Jets who have won 4 of the last 5 games. They almost beat TB as well, I think you take the +16 and run with it.

Just checked, the line dropped to +14.5 for KC which is still a lot.

In half of KC's games this year, they have lost by over 14.5 points.

I wouldnt be surprised for KC to win this game...

Would take 14.5 in a second if I gambled.

I like SD to cover, and to win out the rest of the season.

They'd have a bye and are at home, and it's a long road trip for KC. On top of all the obvious things (KC sucks), the Chiefs are hurting right now -- no LJ, no KSmith, starting RDE out, Derrick Johnson out, starting FS either out or seriously banged up, their best secondary player Brandon Flowers hurting.

I strongly suspect SD covers. Regardless, the over is the play. I fully expect SD to hit 35-40 points, and under Thigpen KC should be able to get a couple of TDs.

In half of KC's games this year, they have lost by over 14.5 points.

In 3/4 of SD's games this year, they have not won by more than 14.5 points.

The Chargers are going to cover easily. Hopefully the new defensive coordinator can light a fire under that under performing defense.

The Chargers are going to cover easily.

Based on what? Your "hope" that the new defensive coordinator will have fixed all of the problems in less than 2 weeks?
