Next! That may just be what the San Diego Chargers are thinking as they head into Week 13. This weekend when the head to Cleveland to take on the Browns they try to continue rolling over opponents. San Diego, now 8-3, won its sixth in a row last week, with a 43-14 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs to regain a one-game lead over Denver in the AFC West.

A Cleveland team that ranks 31st in the league in total defense could have trouble slowing them down.

NFL odds makers are calling the Chargers heavy road favorites in this one. The spread in Vegas is at about two touchdowns. The line is sitting at, San Diego -13.5 with the total in the game set at 42.5.

Last week, Chargers quarterback Phillip Rivers completed nearly 70 percent of
his passes for 317 yards and two touchdowns, both to tight-end Antonio Gates. The Pro-Bowl tight-end hauled in seven catches for 118 yards to go with his two scores.

Rivers was 21-of-28 in the win.

The Browns are just plain bad. At 1-10, Cleveland has no playoff hopes. The Browns, tied for the league's worst record, lost 16-7 at Cincinnati last Sunday and will now be trying avoid a 10th consecutive home defeat.

Quarterback Brady Quinn was 15 of 34 for a dismal 100 yards as the Browns scored just seven points. That made the seventh time this season their anemic score seven or less. Cleveland's defense wasn't any better, surrendering 210 yards on the ground.

I just don't see the Browns having an chance in this one. Take San Diego and give the 13.5 point, this one could get ugly.
