The 3-8 Los Angeles Chargers are better than their record indicates and that will be evident today when they host the New England Patriots. The Chargers’ 8 losses have come by a combined total of just 42 points and with a bounce or two their way, they could easily be sitting at 8-3. LA’s offense is ranked #3 in the league, averaging 397.8 yards per game, and their rookie quarterback, Justin Herbert, is the real deal. He has thrown for 3,015 yards with 23 touchdowns and just 7 interceptions. Not bad for a rook. New England has just one road win on the season and Cam Newton does not seem to be the answer. Newton has thrown for only 1,984 yards, has just 4 touchdown passes and 9 interceptions. The only way the Bolts lose this game will be by the hands of their inept coaching staff that has no clue how to manage a clock and over and over make bad decisions.
