Baltimore Ravens @ San Diego Chargers Sunday Night Football Pick

Baltimore Ravens @ San Diego Chargers Sunday Night Football Pick: I know what you’re saying, this is the Chargers’ month! December, baby, where the Chargers do their clever mascot name justice and CHARGE right into the playoffs! They do it every year! The start slow, fight back, and beat all odds – this is the Chargers’ month!!!

This is not the same Chargers, team, I’m sorry to tell all you baby blue fans out there. I’m not hating, I’m just telling you how it is. The Chargers are probably one loss away from a Norv Turner firing (and even if they don’t ever lose again, there’s a good chance he’s gone anyway – remember, this is an organization which has fired playoff coaches before). The only problem is, the Chargers haven’t really been underachieving, they just aren’t that good. They are hurt up front and the only reason that wasn’t on stage the last couple weeks is that they went up against defenses that can’t rush the passer to begin with.

Yes, I’m sorry if I’m not convinced of the Chargers’ December destiny after dominant offensive performances against Jacksonville and Buffalo. The Jaguars had a patch-work secondary together and Buffalo’s defense has just been flat out horrendous over the last handful of weeks. This is a different beast, a scary one, with Terrell Suggs leading the haunted house.
