Chargers Try To Win 4th Straight Vs Eagles

Before I start talking about the Chargers game, I'd like to speak just a little bit about the TNF Game. First of all I think this game looked much better a few weeks ago, but now its a game between two teams going in a downward direction,the Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers. If you look at the Bears they are pretty much done with this season, there is no way they win the division unless the Vikings completely choke somehow, and the Wild Card spot is a little out of reach. The 49ers on the other hand can actually still win the division, they are only two games behind Arizona, and the Cardinals aren't that great. So pretty much this is a must win game for both teams, but I chose the 49ers to take it 23-16, running all over the Bears.

Ok, now to the game I Really want to talk about. I am actually really excited for this game for 2 reasons. 1. I actually live near Philly so everyone I know is an Eagles fan. 2. If Tomlinson scores this game, he will have officially scored a touchdown against every single NFL team besides the Chargers. Anyway enough about that, let's get down to buisness.

This is a game between the 5-3 Chargers and the 5-3 Eagles in San Diego. The Chargers come off of a stunning last-minute win over the Giants, while the Eagles lost a dissapointing game at home to Dallas, 20-16.

What to Watch For With The Chargers
The Eagles love to blitz, so San Diego should throw plenty of screens to Sproles, which will A. Lead to scores and B.Slow down the pressure.

Also let's hope to see what we have seen the last 3 weeks out of Merriman and Phillips. They along with the safeties have sent a good amount of pressure on the Qbs,and the Chargers have sacked them 5 times in their last 2 games.


Finally, let's hope to see Rivers continue his great play against a great pass Defense in the Eagles. With Asante Samuel up against Vincent Jackson, Rivers has to possibly try to get the ball to his other playmakers, including Gates, who could be left open.


What to Watch For With the Eagles
The Chargers need to contain Wide Receiver Desean Jackson. Jackson is possibly the most explosive player in the NFL. When he is out in the open, he can do some damage. I can't believe I am saying this, but put Cromartie on Jackson, because he is probably the fastest guy on the Defense.


Brian Westbrook coming back could be a huge boost for the Eagles, especially against the poor run defense of San Diego. I wouldn't be suprised to see him, McCoy, and Weaver run all over SD, but if they control the run, they should be able to stop the pass.
