Chargers (+4.5) over GIANTS
Phil Rivers, would you like some ketchup or A1 sauce with the Giants' secondary? And how would you like them cooked? Is medium rare good? I'm making this my Underdog Lock of the Week. Chargers 38, Giants 30. By the way, I watched the G-men self-destruct against Philly with my dad last Sunday. At one point he said sadly, "Why didn't we get this Eli for the [Giants-Pats] Super Bowl?" He's still not over it. And neither am

This weeks installment from SDNN.com. Interesting that the Chargers have the advantage in QB. I think the fact that Eli has produced in the playoffs may mean that the comparison is closer to a push.

Also, here are this week's experts picks.

No surprises really. I don't think many expect the Chargers to pull it off.

Aaron Rouse will take his place. Rouse was much maligned in Green Bay a couple of years back, but probably not as much as CC Brown (of course it was Green Bay and not New York). The one interesting thing about Rouse is that he's tall. Almost as tall as VJ and Floyd and definitely taller than Gates and Naanee.

SAN DIEGO – In June, Chargers receiver Vincent Jackson tried to have a judge throw out blood-alcohol evidence against him stemming from his arrest on a drunken-driving charge Jan. 6. San Diego Superior Court Judge Cynthia Bashant rejected that request, leading Jackson to appeal her ruling in July.

James Holt promoted from practice squad to active roster, takes Chambers' spot -- ccpearce

Interesting, I thought Beckwith was favoured for this. Is Holt going to be better against NY's run?

At least it wasn't Zach Thomas because then we'd need a new leader for this blog (after John did himself in).

(And of course I found this in the twitter-links on the side, but thought it should be raised for discussion).

The Chiefs have been awarded former San Diego WR Chris Chambers after making a waiver claim -- kb_kcstar

Good news re salary, but a pity that he'll improve a foe in our division, especially as we're still to play our second game against them (though of course that is at home).

"Rising

Merriman Shawne Merriman, Chargers, linebacker: Merriman had two sacks against Oakland on Sunday, his first two sacks of the season. He struggled to regain his superior pass-rushing skills in the first several games as he came back from a major knee injury. Merriman has improved each week and looks to be at full strength.

Phillips Chargers’ pass rush: Merriman isn’t the only Charger getting his pass-rush groove back. San Diego has had nine sacks in its past two games, after struggling early in the season.

Linebacker Shaun Phillips has four sacks in the past two games. San Diego is getting very creative in its pass-rush schemes, often using safeties on blitzes. The schemes are working and the Chargers are suddenly a sack threat again."
