Looking at Detroit-Baltimore-Philly-Chargers.
Who do you guys like?
Do you think Chargers is a trap?
Two different pools, leaning Detroit and Baltimore or Detroit and Chargers. Your input is greatly appreciated

I think Baltimore is the bigger potential trap.
Off a Home Blowout of a solid team - now on the non-con Road against a bottom feeder.
That's a big flat spot waiting to happen.

The Chargers are in the usual spot of being shitty early then mounting a mid/late season playoff run.
I wouldn't fault you for going with them, but Staley is on the verge of losing this team so caution advised.

Detroit is who I would go with.
Off an embarrassment on the Road, now Home on MNF taking on a team they're way better than.
That's a situation that's pretty solid on paper for a good performance.

Chargers. Coming off 2 losses. They're pretty much in a must win situation at this point. Bears dont have the firepower or defense to keep up with the Chargers. BOL

Also, I personally, don't see a game I would trust the Chargers with after this week. They've already played the Raiders at home. I wouldn't trust them against anyone on the road.

POSSIBLY Denver at home, but it's a division game, you never know what happens in division games, so I think this is the best spot to use them. Just my .02

i assume this is not circa. Where calculus is little different for Tday and Xmas pick. I think Lions least likely to lose Those are some good teams, except for Chargers,Chargers are not a good team and are very poorly coached. Williams gone for season, Bosa playing with broken toe and Herbert has not been playing well and so far is a 500 QB.

I'm in a league with only 5 teams left and I'm deciding between the Chargers and Baltimore. 3 of the 5 teams left have used Baltimore so I may pick them since they'll all be on the Chargers I expect.

All things being equal, my suggestion in order: Detroit / LA Chargers / Baltimore
That said, your individual circumstance calculus like that above plays the biggest role ultimately.
I mean, you're goal is to win the contest so the one you really like most may not be the best choice.

I am looking at 3 of those teams also ( not Philly) but need to think about thanksgiving with Detroit and Circa.I do not trust the chargers but I do like they are at home and can keep up with the bears or should outproduce them. bears are running really well but a rookie on the road would be a huge upset if they win.
Baltimore the spot really concerns me, they have far more talent but could easily put in a poor performance. However they are well coached and likely win in a closer game than expected.
they also have a reliable defense , great kicker and play a terrible defense.
Lions are beating raiders at home, but I need them for turkey day unless I want to rely on Dallas I prefer to have both options.

Your value is highest with Detroit because they are a better favorite than the Chargers, who more people will be on.

Det is coming off a loss, so I expect they'll come out with their hair on fire. They are at home, where they played better in previous years even when the team was not this solid.

Det is #2 vs the run. So you'd think LV will have to pass. But Jimmy G has 7 td and 8 int for the year.

I like Det at -7.5, so I think they are nearly a L**K (never say the word) su.

Bal would be my #2. I wouldn't go with Phil, Hurts looks gimpy with knee brace. Wash a sneakily decent team. Chargers, head coach, 'dead man walking.' Who else would go for it on 4th down from their own 20,
I really liked Chi's bu rookie qb, Bagent. (wish I could stop thinking Bilbo Bagens every time I saw his name).
As for home field edge, Chi could well have more fans at game then the chargers.

So Det #1. Bal #2. However if you are thinking Bal, watch for an adjusted Arz injury report, some talk Kyler Murray might start.

BOL.

LAC is my play

Since you're still alive heading into week 8, you've done better than 85% of everyone else already

You be you
