Jets vs. Chargers

The New York jets enter this game in serious need of a win.  There appears to be turmoil surrounding the team over quarterback Geno Smith and head coach Rex Ryan and GM John Idzik seem to be at odds as to whether Smith should remain the starter.

And this is just playing right in the Chargers hands because all they are doing is just taking care of their business and winning football games.  And they will win this one at home.

Winner:  Chargers

Score prediction:       27-20  Chargers

Points spread:      Chargers -7

Over/under:  44  Over
