Los Angeles at Tennessee

Wrong team favored. The Tennessee Titans, after an 0-6 start, have gone 7-1 in their last eight games. But, the San Diego Chargers are playing better than any team in the NFL right now including the Colts, Saints and yes, the Titans. The Bolts have run nine straight games and have not lost a December game since 2005, running the streak to 17 straight. The Chargers have become a model of consistency on offense, with great balance. They remain the only NFL team to have scored at least 20 points in every single game. While Tennessee has feasted this year on opponents like Jacksonville, San Francisco, Buffalo and St. Louis, they have struggled versus teams that can throw the ball. They have not been able to stop top QBs and elite passing attacks all season long. They have faced Brady, Warner, Schaub and Manning twice each. The six games show QBs combining to go 169-235 for 72% completions, 1,863 yards, 16 TDs and one INT. Wow! Those numbers projected over an entire season would be Hall of Fame caliber. The Jeff Fisher-led Titans have actually always struggled vs. top passing teams as they are just 6-16 ATS vs. teams that pass for 260+ yards per game. The Chargers are supposed to get center Nick Hardwick back, which will just add to protection for Rivers who has already put up MVP numbers thi season. The Titans have been playing well, but they will be running into a team that looks "Super" right now. The Bolts are on a 20-6-3 ATS as a dog and 16-5 ATS under Norv Turner when coming off back-to-back wins. As good as the Titans have been playing, they are 1-8 ATS against teams with a winning record, including 0-5 ATS during this season, and 0-3 ATS during this 7-1 run. I'll go with San Diego here.
