The game might be considered a revenge game of sorts for the Colts since it was San Diego that knocked them out of the playoffs. The problem with that theory is that the Chargers are in desperation mode as a loss on Sunday would really hurt their playoff chances. The Chargers have had a variety of problems this season not the least of which is running back LaDainian Tomlinson. Tomlinson is in the midst of the worst year in his career and San Diego is suffering. The Chargers have had to throw the ball on a regular basis. Quarterback Phillip Rivers is the AFC’s highest rated passer and he has already thrown 21 TD passes this season but being one dimensional in the NFL rarely works in the long term. If Tomlinson can’t run the ball effectively this week then it may not happen again this season. Odds makers at SBGGlobal have the Chargers -2.5 point favorites at home in NFL odds against the Colts with a total of 49. The Colts are allowing 138.5 yards per game on the ground this year. Indianapolis was missing safety Bob Sanders last week and Houston’s Steve Slaton ran for 156 yards against the defense. The Colts were able to win because Peyton Manning threw for 320 yards and two touchdowns. Sanders is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game. Sunday’s game could be another high scoring one for the Colts considering they are facing a San Diego defense that is last in the league, allowing 267 yards per game. If you want to bet the Chargers as -2.5 point favorites in NFL odds against the Colts then visit SBG Global.
