San Diego may be in last place, but they are in the toughest division in football this season. San Diego has outscored opponents by 14 points, despite a losing record, and dropping a string of super close games. Chargers QB Philip Rivers (20 TDs, 11 INTs) is having a great season, leading an offense ranked ninth in yards, fifth in passing, and second in points (29.2 per game). Getting hard hitting safety Jahleel Addae back (out since Week 2), along with inside linebacker Denzel Perryman, will help the defense. The Chargers are on a 10-4 ATS run, including 9-2 ATS on the road. They face a Houston team limping home from Mexico after a Monday Night loss to Oakland. Houston may be in first place, but it's a bad division. The Texans have a winning record, yet have been outscored by 34 points this season! The problem is an anemic offense ranked #28 in yards and points (18.1 per game) and #30 in passing. QB Brock Osweiler (12 TDs, 10 picks) has been a terrible and overpriced addition, throwing everything underneath with erratic accuracy downfield. Houston is 7-2 UNDER the total at home with a strong defense and fifth in yards allowed. With the Chargers covering all five of the last five meetings, grab the dog with the far better quarterback in a defensive duel. Play San Diego and UNDER the total.
