While Gang Green still tries to find an identity on both sides of the ball, the Chargers have been one of the NFL’s top ranked teams on both offense and defense. QB has completed 67% of his passes for 307 YPG this year, and the defense has also done a tremendous job in the passing game, ranking second in the NFL with 180 YPG allowed. And although San Diego allowed Den- ver to for 162 yards,the Chargers have held

Rookie QB Christian Ponder will get his first career start for Minne- sota, and he’ll certainly be tested by Green Bay’s exotic blitz packages and ball-hawking corners. During Green Bay’s dozen-game ride, superstar Aaron Rodgers is averaging a hefty 313 passing YPG, with 31 TD and just 6 INT. He has also tossed 12 TD and just 3 INT in seven career meetings with the Vikings. The Packers have won 11 of 13 ATS, which includes Aaron Rodgers and company coming into Minnesota a pla y ON: GREEN BAY -8.5 year ago and dominating the Vikes in a 31-3 slaughter.

Even with Curtis Painter playing better than expected, Indianapolis has been unable to generate enough offense to compensate for a defense that’s among the league’s worst, giving up 23+ points in all six defeats. Despite the Colts’ struggles to get into the win column, their past five defeats have all come by 10 points or fewer. And since 2009, New Orleans is 2-7 against the spread when favored by double digits. Expect

Baltimore is putting up 33.3 PPG during its three-game surge, while Jacksonville has scored only 11.2 PPG dur- ing its slide. The Jags have used RB Maurice Jones-Drew and an improved defense to stay competitive since rookie QB Blaine Gabbert took over, but the Ravens defense will be the toughest test Gabbert has faced yet. The Ravens have allowed 100 team rushing yards just once through five games. QB Joe Flacco’s two 300-yard passing performances in his past three games, have established the Ravens pla y ON: BALTIMORE -7.5 as a solid offensive team to go along with their elite D.
