San Diego Chargers
San Diego Chargers The NFL’s installment of football across the pond will see the New Orleans Saints and San Diego Chargers face off at Wembley Stadium in London. The odds makers list the betting lines as the Chargers -3 and the total is set at 46.

With both teams sitting at 3-4 and expectations high for the season, this is a pivotal game as each team as they try to get to a .500 record.

New Orleans may have a tougher go of it as their star running back Reggie Bush is injured and did not make the trip to England. Bush had surgery on his left knee Monday and it's unclear how long he'll be out.

"He has been a big part of what we have been able to do offensively and it's an injury that we have to deal with," Saints coach Sean Payton said.

They also lost a home date on their schedule. The Saints are considered hosts in Sunday's matchup against the Chargers in London.

The Saints are in last place in the NFC South and have lost all three of their games
away from the Superdome.

"We came over here knowing that this is pretty much a must-win game for us," said wide receiver Marques Colston. "We have the bye week next week, and just to go in with a win could set our season back on the right track."

The Charges have gone 3-2 since opening the season with two heartbreaking losses. Quarterback Philip Rivers has carried his team throwing for just under 1,700 yards and a league high 16 touchdowns. The problem however, has been in the run game. Pro Bowl running back LaDainian Tomlinson has struggled while trying to play through a turf-toe injury.

In the Chargers last three games, Tomlinson has only managed a mere 150 yards and no scores, a far cry from the norm for one of the leagues brightest stars.

"The run game comes with opportunities and gaining some momentum," Tomlinson said. "Obviously, we didn't have any momentum in the run game. That's why we're suffering."

Look for San Diego to gain back some of that momentum. Take the Chargers and give the 3 points.
