mathematically, SD's chances of winning straight up are much higher than chicago. the packers always keep the game close even when they lose, and if favre's offense wakes up old-school style, look out. the chargers on the other hand, aren't going to be messing around on a nationally televised game at home after nearly slowplaying themselves to death against the skins.

I'm not too worried about the falcons playing the saints at home for MNF. while N.O. is theoretically capable of an upset, their record this season says otherwise. again, good teams are not going to f*ck around this late in the season, especially when the entire country is watching.
