San Diego Chargers -9 vs Tennessee Titans

This was by far the easiest game to pick of all the wild-card games happening this weekend.  The Chargers are going to win this one going away.

There is definitely some bad blood between both of these teams. In their last meeting, the Titans thought Shawne Merriman took a cheap shot at Vince Young. The Chargers felt the Titans retaliated with late hits on Merriman by tackle David Stewart and center Kevin Mawae.  Merriman, who suffered sprained knee ligaments, is not going to forget what happened and it is going to be lights out for the Tennessee offense this weekend.  Here is the video of the late hit on Merriman.  If you watch the video you will see the late hit at the end of the play, at the bottom left corner.


The Tennessee offense barely has enough playmakers to put on the field for this game as it is.  Starting QB Vince Young is still hobbling around with a quadriceps injury and is sharing snaps with Kerry Collins.  The Titans will be without Roydell Williams who has a broken ankle. This makes Justin Gage and Eric Moulds the Titans primary wide receivers.  Enough said there. The Titans starting tight end Bo Scaife was also put on IR with a lacerated liver.  It's time to start signing up guys from the practice squad.  Chargers win easily 27-13.
