Chargers @ Niners
By Tony George
The Niners offense has been woeful. A lot of that can be contributed the lack of a quality backup at QB behind Kappernick. You have Gabbert (who looked like Gabbert at Jax in his first two appearances which is not good) and 2 other guys that are scout team QB's at best. Averaging only 208 yards on offense through their first 2 preseason games is a big concern, and while the starters get a full half here, I still think the Chargers are getting too many points here. San Fran has given up 57 points and scored 3 in the preseason. I cannot see backing them laying 6 even though they have a "circle the wagons" type scenario here in Week 3 at home.
The Chargers new offense looks decent, and out of the 2 teams to date, San Diego looks to be more in sync and have a better chemistry going headed into this game. They also have Dwight Freeney running around wreaking havoc. The Chargers are coming off an butt kicking loss at Seattle and will also want to make amends, especially on defense this week, so I expect a hard fought game on Sunday and an outcome when the final score is closer than a 6 point spread.
