Chargers vs. Bengals: Odds, Point Spread & Over-Under

Expect a boatload of the 56,000 season ticket holders to show up when the National Football League holds its first ever Town Hall meeting in San Diego under its new relocation guidelines. Despite back-to-back winning seasons with a road playoff victory to go along with it, the Chargers have had some of the worst misfortune with player health in the league over the course of Mike McCoy’s tenure as head coach. That was quarterback Philip Rivers’ message after the triumph and he’s sticking to it. While that may not be the case – Albert Breer of NFL.com indicates that the league simply feels that the owner’s meetings aren’t the correct venue for the type of open dialogue necessary to flesh out details of the cities updates – it does point to where the NFL’s focus remains: Los Angeles Relocation, for at least one team, likely two. Chargers lead series, 19-13.

Their two most recent games both took place in the 2013 season.

The entire training camp and preseason had fans biting their nails when the starters were on the field, as the team has lost valuable players over the past few years for long periods of time before they even played a meaningful down.

LINING UP: Chris Tomlinson is expected to start at right guard, where he was pressed into duty after D.J. Fluker suffered a high ankle sprain in the third quarter of Sunday’s victory against Detroit. “I was pretty good”, said Gordon, who rushed for 51 yards on 14 carries. “Stuff happens. We’re prepared for this week”.

BY THE NUMBERS: 1 – Playoff wins by the Chargers in the last six years and it came at Paul Brown Stadium in 2013.

-OLB Kyle Emanuel had a great opening game as the rookie recorded a sack and an interception.

-SS Jahleel Addae has an issue with his ankle and he didn’t practice.

With Detroit inside of the rear-view implies, the Chargers have ever since developed such a attention to Cincinnati (1-0) but this Sunday’s get together by having Andy Dalton as well as having the Bengals.

“That guy is hard to move”, defensive end Carlos Dunlap said. In the first matchup, which the Bengals won, the Bengals ran for 164 yards on 38 attempts.

Bengals safeties George Iloka (foot) and Reggie Nelson (groin) missed practice Wednesday.

“I think a lot of the football team played against the Chargers last time we played them”, coach Marvin Lewis said. In the receiving end, Tyler Eifert had 104 yards and two touchdowns in nine receptions while AJ Green added 63 yards in five receptions.
