Tennessee at Los Angeles

The San Diego Chargers are proving two things. Statistics don't mean a thing if you're not winning, and turnovers and poor special teams play are going to kill you. As I wrote about last week, the Chargers lead the league in both offense and defense but they are now 2-5 through seven games. Last week they again out-gained their opponent 363 to 179 but still lost! Out of 32 teams, the Chargers are ranked 31st in turnover margin and 32nd (dead last) in special teams. If this team ever limits their mistakes, they could be dangerous. But for now, this is simply a team that finds ways to lose. Suddenly the Tennessee Titans, who started 0-6 last year, are picking up where they left off two years ago. What people don't realize is that, aside from that 0-6 debacle to open the season in '09, the Titans are 26-7 in their last 33 games! They have also won eight of their last ten road games straight-up. They have done the most damage as a dog, where they are 11-2 ATS when getting 3.5-10 points. The Chargers are finding ways to lose games they are supposed to win, leaving them at 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 as a favorite. Here we have a 5-2 team that is winning games by an average of 12 points per game, facing a 2-5 team that can't get out of their own way. Why is the worse team favored? I like Tennessee to cover here.
