\"Chargers<\/a>
The San Diego Chargers offense should have all weapons available on Sunday against the New York Jets<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

San Diego is coming off its bye week and enters on a three-game winning streak, while plenty of motivation has been added to this game due to New York head coach Rex Ryan\u2019s comments on Norv Turner.\u00a0 \u201cI think I would\u2019ve had a couple rings,\u201d commented Ryan earlier this week about the talent that the Chargers have had.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019m telling you, those teams were loaded, there\u2019s no question about it.\u201d\u00a0 Both coaches have spoken about the comments over the phone, but clearly its a rallying cry for this locker room.\u00a0 San Diego is 18-19 ATS over the last two-plus season and the \u2018over\u2019 is 20-16 in those contests.<\/p>\n

The Chargers are a hard team to figure out due to winning their four games by a combined 25 points, as quarterback Philip Rivers is one of the more talented players in the NFL.\u00a0 He\u2019s struggled a bit this year in throwing seven interceptions, while also being held to a season-low 250 yards against the Denver Broncos last time out.\u00a0 San Diego hasn\u2019t played on the road in this series since 2005, but dropped a 17-14 decision last year as 7.5-point home favorites.<\/p>\n

New York overcame a horrific start in capturing a 24-6 win over the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football as touchdown home favorites, snapping a three-game losing streak in the process.\u00a0 Much of the discussion in the locker room has been centered around getting a win before heading into a bye week.\u00a0 \u201cMy rookie year, we lost to Miami right before the bye week and that\u2019s hard, going home to see your family and stuff right after a loss.\u201d\u00a0 New York is 11-5 ATS when the line is in between a field goal on both sides, while the \u2018over\u2019 is 13-3 in those contests.<\/p>\n

The Jets will likely continue to try and jumpstart their rushing attack, facing a Chargers team that is allowing 4.6 yards per carry.\u00a0 On the defensive end, New York will likely face San Diego tight end Antonio Gates, who has returned to the practice field this week as the team comes off a bye week of its own.\u00a0 Sanchez will need to build off his Monday night performance, throwing for 201 yards, which was a pleasant sight to see after being held under 200 in three of the previous four games.\u00a0 Offensively, the team will need to sustain drives in keeping Sunday\u2019s opponent off the field, but it\u2019s last in the NFL with 35.1 percent of drives resulting in three-and-outs.<\/p>\n

Bettors will likely back the Chargers due to their 6-1 ATS mark as a road favorite of a field goal or less, while the Jets are 6-13 ATS in October.<\/p>\n
