The San Diego Chargers odds of winning the 2015 Super Bowl were set at 40-1 at AceSportsbook.com. They do have a legitimate shot at winning but there are obstacles standing in the way, most notably division rival the Denver Broncos, who are favored to win the Super Bowl. The verdict is still out as to whether another division rival, the Kansas City Chiefs, won so many games last year a result of being under the radar. Now they have a huge target on their foreheads.
The Chargers may suck because essentially they have not changed anything from last year when they finished the season 9-7 and won a Playoffs game after just squeaking in.
What might not suck is that head coach “Mike McCoy has single-handedly revived Rivers's career, and new offensive coordinator Frank Reich knows how to come back from 32-point deficits, something the Chargers experience quite a bit,” notes Drew Magary of Deadspin.com.
The problem with The Chargers, one of Magary’s readers put it best.
First, let me say that I'm still basking in the post Norv Turner glow. Getting rid of him was basically like getting a negative AIDS test. The problem with that is, you forget that it's probably not a great sign that you had to go get an AIDS test in the first place.
Our team is almost the exact same as it was last year. We made almost no upgrades. In fact, we signed Brandon Flowers, who the Chiefs released because he's size of one of Alex Smith's hands and almost every receiver in the AFC west is built like that dude from Game Of Thrones that smushed that one guy's head. And in order to GET Brandon Flowers, we released a corner who, admittedly wasn't great, but was young and 6'2". And guess who signed him? The Chiefs. Which means we were outsmarted by the Chiefs, which is a lot like losing a poker game to a dog dressed in human clothing. Our stadium is the worst in the league. It looks like it was built in Nicaragua in the 60s in hopes of getting the world cup. It's just cement with some grass in the middle.
We play the NFC West this year, so that's at least three losses and probably four. Meanwhile, once again our season is tied to Philip Rivers, meaning as a Charger fan you have to root for him to succeed even though in ANY other situation in life, if you met him, you'd wish for his failure and untimely demise because he is the biggest shit head on the planet. He recently had his seventh kid, presumably representing each of the wins we'll have this season.
The oddsmakers believe this San Diego squad will win another 9 games this season based on the OVER/UNDER regular season win odds being offered up.
