Redskins / Chargers Washington: Has there ever been a team more susceptible to quitting in Week 17 than this one? The Coach is gone, and nobody is even pretending otherwise. The new Coach has all but been anointed. Win one for poor Coach Zorn? There'll be none of that from this group--Albert Haynesworth will see to that. These guys hop on a plane Friday, fly 2500 miles to San Diego with one thought on their mind: lets get this over ASAP so we can start our offseason.
]San Diego: Turner really doesn't want his starters inactive for 22 days prior to their first playoff game. He's got to give the first team on both sides 2-3 series at least to keep their rhythm. Starters start sitting maybe late in the 2nd quarter, by which time it's SD 17-3, absent any Skin gift scores off turnovers. Then in the second half both teams spend most of the time running into the line at 3/4 speed. How can Washington move the ball, even if they would want to? Can't see it.
This one has SD 23 Washington 6 written all over it. Chargers first half bet looks particularly strong. Hell, the Chargers should probably be -6 for the first half alone. What am I missing here?
