Dolphins vs Chargers
Dolphins vs Chargers The 2-2 San Diego Chargers have won two in a row since opening the season with two heart breaking losses. San Diego could easily be unbeaten coming into this week's match-up with Miami at Dolphin Stadium. Odds maker call the Chargers a 6 1/2 point favorite on the road with the total set at 45.

Miami is 1-2 after man-handling the New England Patriots two weeks ago. Running back Ronnie Brown led the Dolphins offence with four rushing touchdowns and one passing; in fact Brown had his hands on the football on all five of Miami's scores.

On the other side of the ball the Dolphins defense dominated the Brady-less New England offense, allowing just 215 total yards of offense.

"You really don't realize how good Tom Brady is until he's not out there," said Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter, who's trash-talking caused
quite a buzz in the locker room. "Not taking anything away from Matt Cassel, but those are tough shoes to fill."

The chargers are coming off a big fourth quarter comeback against the Oakland Raiders to get them back to .500.

"I think we're getting better as a football team in all three phases," San Diego coach Norv Turner said. "That's certainly what we need to do and that's what every team needs to do at this time of year."

LaDainian Tomlinson appears to be back to 100% after being slowed by a toe injury. His two fourth quarter touchdowns a week age sealed the Charger victory over Oakland. Quarterback Philip Rivers is off to a tremendous start throwing for 1024 yards and 10 touchdowns thus far in 2008.

Don't read too much into Miami's win over New England. The Chargers are hot right now and should keep on rolling. Take San Diego and give the 6 1/2 points.
