San Diego Chargers (1-1) at Tennessee Titans (1-1)
I like what I’ve seen from these two teams so far in 2013. They both are much improved from last season, especially the Chargers, with the resurgence of Philip Rivers at quarterback. He’s looking like the Rivers of younger years, not like the player he was in ’12, but that’s a whole other story.

Both of these teams were able to take the Houston Texans to the brink of defeat, but weren’t able to gain a win when they faced the defending AFC South champions.

What will be the difference in this game … I’m saying the team that is able to establish the best running game will win the game. The Chargers use Ryan Mathews and Danny Woodhead, while the Titans have Chris Johnson, and if he’s healthy they have Shonn Greene to backup Johnson, if not they will look to Jackie Battle.

I see this game being controlled by the best offense in Week 3, but the Chargers have the edge at quarterback, but I’m giving the Titans the edge in the running game. Maybe it will come do to the best defense?
