Where: Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, California
Televised: CBS
Odds: The Line opened up at San Diego -7 and has been bet up slightly to -7.5. The OU line started at 45 and has been bet down slightly to 44.5.
Cleveland comes into this game at 1-2 on the year, which includes an 0-1 mark on the road. Yes Cleveland Beat Tennessee in week two, but still this looks like it is a bad football team and they are going to be headed for a long season. The biggest problem for the Browns this year will come on offense, and that is mainly because they just don’t have a QB to lead them. They started out with McCown Manziel in game 1 and that didn’t work out. In game 2 it was Manziel and he did throw 2 TD passes but hit just 8 of 15 passes for 172 yards. In game 3 it was back to McCown and he did throw for 341 yards, but also had a costly pick in the 27-20 loss at home to the Raiders. Despite losing the game to the Raiders by just 7 and beating Tennessee by 14, the Browns were still outgained by 111 and 114 yards in those games respectively. This just may be the worst team in the NFL.
The Chargers started out with an impressive 33-28 win over the Lions, in a game hat hey were down 21-3 early. They just never gave up and grabbed the solid win. That game was at home and then they took to the road, where they lost 24-19 at Cincinnati and 31-14 at Minnesota last week. It is not the start San Diego was hoping for, but still this was supposed to be an average team at best this year and so far it has looked that way. The 17 point road loss to Minnesota is a bit misleading as the Chargers actually outgained the Vikings by 115 yards in the contest. Rivers threw for 246 yards in the game, but had a pick returned for an INT and the Viking special teams kept setting up their offense with good field position all game. The Chargers have good numbers on he year as they are 4th in total offense and 4th in passing offense, while odefense they are 9th in yards allowed and 3rd vs the pass, but hey have just been making mental mistakes their last 2 games which has cost them so far.

[268] San Diego -7 over Cleveland
The Chargers are very close to being at least 2-1 on the year and even though they lost last week vs Minnesota, they still outgained Minnesota by over 100 yards in the game. San Diego may not be a big contender in the AFC, but they are still a solid team and they are still far better than the mess that is known as the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland has no offense at all and their defense has proven to be bad this year so far. I see the Chargers winning this one rather easily.
