1st Quarter Report
The Chargers are on the board, but we’re still waiting on the Packers to respond. After one quarter, neither squad has the contest in the bag, but the Chargers lead 3-0 over the Packers.
With four games having already gone down to the wire, it’s been a real nail-biter of a season for the Chargers, and they’re locked in yet another close battle with the Packers. Maybe the Chargers will pull away, but we predict a narrow margin.
