Like it or not, the Chargers are really going to be going into the regular season without the services of Vincent Jackson, one of the top receivers in the NFL. Even if by some major miracle Jackson does report to camp before Monday night, he is going to be facing a three game suspension regardless and will not be available.
Expect to see Philip Rivers using a lot of Malcolm Floyd, Legedu Naanee and his version of Old Reliable, Antonio Gates, especially in crucial situations.
The running game is going to be interesting this week, as this could be the start of a fantastic career for Ryan Mathews, the team’s first round draft choice out of Fresno State. Many are already giving football betting advice that hints that Mathews will be the Offensive Rookie of the Year this season, and if he gets enough action, that is most likely to be the case.
For the Chiefs, this year is all about achieving respectability. Kansas City has really struggled a ton in recent years, and there are just a lot of players that need a ton of work in order to turn this franchise around.
Matt Cassel absolutely has to do better than the virtually even TD/INT ratio that he posted last season. He doesn’t have the weapons at his disposal at wide receiver that most other QBs in this division and conference do, which will really set his growth back.
Defensively, it’s all about rookie Eric Berry this year. The team’s first round draft choice is expected to come in and immediately help transform a terrible defense into a respectable one just by being on the field.
NFL Insider Tip: The ‘over’ has gone 10-1 in San Diego’s L/11 games played in the month of September and is 15-5-2 in Kansas City’s L/22 home games.
So why not think this will be a higher scoring game? Charlie Weis is going to want to get his offense off on a high note this year, especially after a relatively dismal preseason. We know that the Chargers can do a ton of damage, even without Jackson in the lineup.
For our best football betting advice, go with the ‘over’ on MNF.
