How the hell are they -4.0 against a Tennessee team that has been on a tear over the last three weeks?

I'm probably going to end up on San Diego as a philosophy pick, because I can't find any way that anyone wouldn't consider Tennessee +4.0 a total gift. And then Tennessee will win 34 - 28 in no shocker to anyone.

I'm sure Herman will be here shortly to say some stupid annoying shit to remind me why I don't post very often... but the main point of this thread is that San Diego is fucking awful, and this line makes me LOL.
 
Bad coaching, bad performances, poor discipline and execution leads to bad luck and losing. Teams like san Diego and Dalls have certainly had some things go against them but their play have put them in the position where a bad break, call or play can cost them.

Bad luck explains a game like last week's, but losses at Oakland and St. Louis? Luck shouldn't factor in if you have a decent football team.

How many yards of offense did they put up on Oakland? Is that what cost them the game?

Before this week they were #1 in offense and #1 in defense. Why else would they be 2-4 if you didn't attribute bad luck to it? What more could they do on offense and defense?

Put up 600 yards of offense on Oakland instead of the 500 or whatever they put up?

There is more to football than just total yardage. Execution is the most important thing, including making the most of your opportunities and preventing your opponents from doing the same.

San Diego is tied for 30th in the league in turnover margin (-7), and have given the ball away 18 teams. Despite the #1 defense in total yards, they are 16th in points surrendered; they aren't buckling down and making the key stop when they need to, and they aren't putting up the key score when they need to, either.

Would you consider all good teams that consistently make the most of their trips to the red zone and limit their mistakes throughout the game "lucky"? If not, why should we consider bad teams that consistently botch those opportunities and cough the ball up at inopportune times unlucky?

Again, you're betting based on what the ESPN Radio host says or whatever

You can't win doing that, no matter what Pavy says. Read the Wal threads for background, if you're interested in browsing threads that aren't about you.

What does betting have anything to do with it? Why are you changing the discussion? First you were defending the Chargers as a good albeit unlucky team, I provide a counter-argument, and now you are talking about betting based on ESPN Radio?

And considering I took San Diego last week coming off of losses to Oakland and St. Louis AGAINST a New England team that these ESPN people fucking adore coming off of a win against Baltimore and 80% of the public was on, how exactly am I betting based on what an ESPN host is telling me?

I'm perfectly capable of forming my own opinion on a team without ESPN's help.
 
I was linking it back to the original post of you not understanding why Tennessee was a 4 point dog.

But I mean you are smarter than the sharps betting 100k on NFL sides so I don't know

And knowing that they never get a key stop when they need to, or a key score when they need to, doesn't make sense. So their stops at the random times they get them don't matter?

You don't need to watch the games to know whats going on. Watching them actually hurts you.

You think Durito is sweating out his 100 plays a weekend on TV?
