San Diego is 2-4 straight up and 4-2 ATS. The total is 4-2 in Chargers games

Atlanta is 4-2 straight up and 5-1 ATS. The total is 5-1 in Falcons games.

The San Diego Chargers are coming off a mini bye week after beating the Broncos last Thursday night. They travel to Atlanta who are playing at home for only the 3rd time this season after splitting tough back to back road games against the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks. The Chargers are better than there 2-4 record after finding ways to lose in three games they probably should of won. The Falcons are also looking at what could of been after a terrible opening week loss to the Bucs and a missed PI penalty at the end of the Seattle game that should of given them a chance to win.

For this RideTheHotHand free pick we’re going to concentrate on the offenses. The San Diego Chargers still have one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL in Phillip Rivers and he has proven that again this season by throwing for 12 Td’s and only 3 picks through 6 games. Antonio Gates is no longer his go to guy as he is spreading it around to his 3 young receivers Travis Benjamin, Tyrell Williams, and Hunter Henry who have combined for 1,100 yards and 7 touchdowns. The maturation of RB Melvin Gordon who has played fantastic this season as the feature back (since Danny Woodhead’s injury) has really helped open up the passing game even more. With as good as Rivers and San Diego’s offense has played this season there is an offense on the other side who is just as good. Atlanta QB Matt Ryan is having his best season, throwing for over 2,000 yards and 15 Td’s through 6 games. His top 3 receivers of Julio Jones, Mohamed Jones and RB/WR Tevin Coleman have combined for 1,300 and 7 Td’s. Rb Devonta Freeman has also been very good this season with over 450 yards rushing.

The Reason we gave you all those offensive stats is because we aren’t going to even bother picking a side in this game. We are going attack that high total of 53. The Chargers have averaged 29 points a game this season with 4 of their games going Over. The Falcons have averaged 33 points a game and have gone Over 5 out of 6 games. The Chargers have given up 26 or more points 4 times this season, the Falcons 5 times. This game has 2 dynamic offenses playing against 2 bad defenses on the fast track of The Georgia Dome. Don’t be afraid of the high total. There will be fireworks. First team to 35 wins. The Pick OVER 53
