With Denver heating up in the AFC West, the San Diego Chargers need to defeat the Baltimore Ravens to help their playoff hopes.

The Chargers have been inconsistent on offense all year, scoring 35 points one week only to score 17 the next. Their up-and-down play has left them with a 5-5 straight up and ATS record on the year.

"We're (all) a little disappointed," said San Diego safety Marlon McCree. "I know I'm a little angry, some other guys are. We've got to channel that anger and that disappointment and dig ourselves out of this hole. We've just got to keep fighting."

The Ravens are trying to rebound from a controversial loss to the Cleveland Browns. Baltimore had scored 16 fourth-quarter points to take a 30-27 lead with 26 seconds to play, but a 39-yard kick return and two completions by Derek Anderson put Browns kicker Phil Dawson in position for a potential game-tying 51-yard field goal. The kick was long enough, but bounced off the left upright and then what appeared to be the crossbar before falling into the end zone.

At first it was deemed "no good" but then the referees talked it over and reversed the call.

"It's crazy, it's weird," said Ravens receiver Derrick Mason. "Just when you thought everything that had gone wrong you had overcome it, then there's another thing. They probably made the right call."

The Chargers are 10-point favorites in the contest. Get your NFL odds in the Bodog Sportsbook!
