No Experts Pick the Chiefs to Beat the Chargers

PrintLast time the Kansas City Chiefs played the San Diego Chargers, Chris Mortensen was the only ESPN expert to pick the Chiefs. This time, he joined his fellow analysts and picked the Chargers.
Your experts are: Eric Allen, Mike Golic, Merrill Hoge, Ron Jaworski, Mortensen, Adam Schefter, Mark Schlereth and Seth Wickhersham. AccuScore also picked the Chargers to win.
This is no surprise. The line on the game is nearing two touchdowns and the Chargers are on a five game roll. Plus, it's being played at the armpit.
NFL Network also unanimously picked the Chiefs to lose. Brian Baldinger, Sterling Sharpe and Joe Theismann picked the Chargers.
Once again, everyone's picking against the Chiefs.

The only thing Mike Golic is an expert at
is being an annoying fatass

Bob Golic was robbed of an Emmy for his work on Saved by the Bell: The College Years.
So was Screech.
Toby is in HR, which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also, he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family.
Yes
Yes I agree with this.
Oh, and Bob Golic is not a real person. His name is Mike Rogers.

Mort picked the Chargers?!!!! We Win! Anytime Mort says anything the opposite happens!
Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
Come on boys nut up and wear your colors!!!
Don’t let the dumb ass charger fans intimidate you. If they throw a beer on you, then you mouse there eye. But don’t let the people who sell there tix to raider fan bully you, fuck those football ignorant douchebags!!!!!
I'm predicting that Philip Rivers gets knocked out
Before half time.

I'll take an unblocked Corey Mays up the middle on the first play of the game.
If that doesn’t happen Tyson Jackson needs to end up with his first sack of the season(knocking Rivers out).
now thats a funny...
you chose 2 chiefs that will probably never even sniff rivers butt smell except at then end of the game when congratulations are being exchanged… the chiefs are STILL inept at sacking the QB this year… mays is an average MLB that nearly never gets to rush… jackson is a body who is continually washed out of plays by whoever he lines up against… hali and johnson are your playmakers… make no mistake about it… and johnson plays 30% of the time… but even then we still have 14 sacks total… 30th in the NFL… by comparison the vikings have 36 sacks… sacks are still coming few and far in between… luckily they are coming at a faster clip than last year…
Well if we can hug up to Rivers for 3 Quarters
We will put him in the sack repeatedly in the 4th
We Will kick at least 4 Teams Asses in 09. Almost there :)
And Succop will be the Key in two of them. Skins & Raiders! Pittsburgh Sweet!

not looking good for the chargers on the right side...
Brandyn Dombrowski is starting… never heard of him… runyan is backing him up… look for hali to be lined up there all day… course he will have hester and gates chipping him all day… hope he can get his…
That actually is STUD-abaker's side
Put-put Sack:)

I'm reasonably confident that Brandon Manumaleuna will help block at the second level.
Brandyn Dombrowski was a stud in college, and he looked okay as a spot player, but this is his first career start and he will be tested.
Runyan is still learning the playbook, but he might come in on goal-line situations or as an eligible reciever.

Ali Villanueva (OT/WR, Army) has 460 yards and 5 TDs in only 7 games with a mediocre quarterback. Just sayin'...

Unlike other KC coordinators,
Pendergast has the balls to dial up the blitz, at risk of being burned. The current D has a better chance of catching Rivers wrong-footed than the D he faced last time. Rivers will pick apart anything vanilla, unless it’s set up by a blitzing mindset.
No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.
So what about Gilberry
What D are we playing that has Gilberry stripping out interior O-lineman?
That 4-3 under or Gilberry is the Nickel NT?

i'll be the negative nancy
I agree with the experts. The Chargers just simply outmatch us.. I bet we lose again but this time not such a wide margin
Time is a great teacher... unfortunately it kills all it's pupils.
I agree, this one could be ugly.
It’s not unheard of for a young time to follow up a great performance with a bad one. These are growing pains. And I think the Chiefs are outmatched (for now). If they fight as hard as last week I will be pleased as punch.
Toby is in HR, which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also, he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family.
It'll be close.
We’re a second half team now. So for San Diego to beat us on Sunday, they’ll have to take two things into the locker room:
1. A lead of more than 10 points
2. A healthy Rivers
In other words, I like Kansas City’s odds. Two touchdown spread? Give me a break!

Hey I picked the Chiefs to win!:)
Two things I wanna see, Rivers getting flattened, when LT tries to sneak out of the backfield for a screen pass, one of our backers to crush his a$$! We will win.
Good move by the Chiefs org, glad to see LJ gone.
Chambers will be pissed off in the armpit.
Chiefs 38, Chargers 21
Cassel: 263YDs 4TDs 1INT 18COMs 30ATTs
Charles: 119YDs 19ATTs 1TD
Chambers: 204YDs 9RECs 3TDs
Every other receiver: 59YDs 9RECs 1TD
The D must be a little Peeved too :)

Put up obviousmans statement in our locker room
“Just because you guys beat the Steelers does not erase the fact that we beat you by 30 points last time” yeah our defense would be pissed off! Put it up Haley, put it up!
Good move by the Chiefs org, glad to see LJ gone.
Just put Chambers on the Offense/Defense/Special Teams
We will have our only perfect game of the season.
Now if you excuse me, I need to make sure Chambers is still avaliable on of my fantasy leagues. If so, 100 points, here I come. :D

oh man, id love to see it but,,,,
Chambers having a 200 yard game? I’d cream my pants. There’s no way we’re gonna win by 17. If we win, expect a late game-winning drive from everybody’s favorite quarterback, Matt Cassel.
different game but...
I remember gates being open all day. Just like steelers wrs were last week. We needed JCharles to run back first play. So, I predict if we fall behind early that we could have troubles. Sd wrs/te too big/tall. BUT, their streak has to come to an end soon, the weather may be lousy, and they may play down to their competition. Here’s hoping for the best! Interesting in seeing what Haley does with Chambers, decoy?

We are pretty used to that anyway aren't we?
DE – Luis Castillo – Questionable – Ankle. Rookie Vaughn Martin will start instead.
LB – Shawn Merriman – Questionable – Foot. Larry English will start instead.
C – Nick Hardwick – Questionable – Ankle.
Wide receiver Vincent Jackson (ribs), punter Mike Scifres (groin), outside linebacker Shaun Phillips (ankle) and Johnson (groin) are all probable to play against the Chiefs.
I’m hoping that this past week has been a total distraction to the dolts, they had a lot of things going on not related to football and they aren’t really that worried about the Chiefs. I also hope that the Chiefs are the ones that put their winning streak to an end.
In the Occult world of game calling we should win this because this is the 100th time in the 50th year that the two teams have played.
Yeah, let's just keep matriculatin' the ball down the field, boys! ...
iam still on my Kool-Aid High from last week....
And i hope the players tasted the blood in the water. Rivers is natural winner, and until the gun goes…dont count them out. We got young guys which = alot of upside. It would be great if they carry the momentum and play tough this week.
I have to be with NaNzy on this one...
Guys, we are a young, inexperienced team…We have to realize our performances will be highly inconsistent. I think we COULD win if we play our best but I don’t know if we should expect to go on some kind of a streak here…
Don't forget to be an AP-vangelist...Tell A Friend...
"I don’t know if we should expect to go on some kind of a streak here"
KC has won the last two games. That IS a streak. It’s a WINNING streak.
Well, we certainly have a shot.
I wouldn’t hold my breath, but I’ve seen the chiefs kick ass in Qualcomm before, and here’s hoping we do it again.

Be prepared for another beat down
Rivers goes off on you today.
Back to reality, folks. Even my KC-lovin’ wife knows the score.
If the thunder don't get ya then the lightning will!!
