Here is a position-by-position breakdown for this week's game.

A lot changed since the last time these two teams met. I think the WRs are still a lot more evenly matched than they are given credit for.

Also from the same site, the experts pick the game.

I'm not a gambler, and certainly not a sports gambler, but I found it interesting that (I'm guessing) due to not knowing if Orton is playing this weekend or not, there is no betting line for the game yet.

Check it out.

A pretty solid FanPost by Mile High Report commenter calvinandhobbes.

Doesn't really concern the Chargers at this point. But, I know a fair number of people have wondered how Russell could still be the starting QB in Oakland. Good luck, Gradkowski, here's a helpful tip: Don't throw it to Heyward-Bey or better yet, just don't throw the ball, period.

Just when you thought the Chiefs couldn't get any worse. As a reminder, the Chargers play the Chiefs on Nov. 29, which would coincide with the 2nd game of the suspension. Also, I have to wonder if the Chiefs knew this was coming when they claimed Chambers.

There was a post I saw that Orton was likely done for the season. So, I just found this article today, mentioned in MHR.

"Eric Weddle was fined for a head-to-head hit on boss.

Maybe its just me but what is the NFL coming to? The shot looked clean to me. I guess he hit him too hard or something, its ridiculous." - cameronm

This week's installment from San Diego News Network.

I think that the real battle will be in the trenches this week. If the Charger O-line can keep the rush at bay Rivers will be able to pick apart that defense.

great article about how the defensive front 7 are switching things up and the DL are keeping fresh.

An analysis of the Rivers to Jackson winning TD. A thing of beauty.
