You get the sense that people are still waiting for the Chargers to turn things around. That they’re not as bad as their 2-5 record and their last place (yes, last place) standing in the AFC West. But there’s a very good possibility that San Diego is as bad as it’s played and if the Titans beat the Bolts on their home field, it might be all she wrote for the Chargers.

On the other side, if Tennessee can get a big road win this week, then the skies the limit for this team. Vince Young is fully practicing after missing the past two games with a knee injury, so the Chargers will have to do deal with both of the Titans’ key offensive playmakers on Sunday. Oh, joy.

Oddsmakers have made the Chargers 5-point favorites. Who does our resident handicapper Vegas Vic like in this matchup? Read on to find out.

In beating long-time nemesis Oklahoma last week, the Missouri Tigers proved to the rest of the college football world that they’re for real. Of course, things don’t get any easier for them this week as they travel to Lincoln to take on a Nebraska team that rebounded from its loss to Texas two weeks ago with a win over Oklahoma State. Missouri has lost 15 in a row on the road against AP Top 25 teams, but they’ve won four of seven over the Huskers since losing 24 straight earlier in the series. A big road win would further cement the Tigers’ place in the top-10.

Oddsmakers have made Nebraska a 7.5-point favorite, while the over/under total is currently 55. Who does our resident handicapper Vegas Vic like in this matchup? Read on to find out.

All due to its “unusual” call…listen for yourself:

Moron calls the cops to complain that his marijuana “was nasty” when he smoked it. The cops did a field test and determined that his bag of weed was in fact not marijuana. After all that the man could face a charge of possessing a counterfeit controlled substance.
HUH? He might be charged with buying a fake illegal substance? Seriously!! Isn’t it already bad enough that he didn’t get his dime bag. Come on…

Florida State will be looking to protect their status in the top-25 when they take on fellow ACC foe NC State tonight at 7:45PM ET.

The Seminoles are coming off a bye week and looking to keep their status in the ACC Atlantic. They’re off to their best start in league play since 2003 when they won their first six games.
