Sometimes, the truth hurts, but when you come here to read the best picks column in the world, honesty is what you get. I'd just as soon skip over this game tonight, and get right to the weekend. Neither of these teams have a hope in hell of making the playoffs this season. The best chance that either of these teams have for victories the rest of the season is in games like this, where they play other teams that are going nowhere. If I had to bet which of the two teams' head coaches would keep his job longer, I don't know who I'd choose. On the one hand, you have Norv Turner. It's amazing how long he's been able to hold onto his position, considering how he has consistently underachieved with good teams. Then we have Romeo Crennel, who, when asked last week why his best offensive player, RB Jamaal Charles, only had five carries, said, "... I'm not exactly sure...," and this in a game that his Chiefs lost at home to the hated Raiders (QB Matt Cassel led the Chiefs with 7 carries!). Perhaps the Chiefs need to hire a "Telling Romeo what's Happening with the Team Coordinator." If I'm being truthful, these guys aren't worthy of a pick tonight. However, I'm not going to shirk my duties; unlike Norville and Romeo, I still have my pride.
Thursday Night
Chiefs at Chargers
Both teams are pretty bad right now, but the Chargers are better on defence. Plus, Philip Rivers, even in decline, gives San Diego a major advantage over Kansas City at QB, no matter whether it's Matt Cassel or Brady Quinn behind centre. Winner: Chargers
