Christian's Picks
1. Orduspor: Win or Draw
I don't have too much information on this game which could sway one to pick Orduspor over Beşiktaş except for a few details..... Orduspor is only 4 points behind 6th ranked Beşiktaş in the Super Lig table and their GD's are +3 and +2 favoring Beşiktaş..... This game will be much closer than people may think based on the odds (60% chance for Beşiktaş to win and 97% of people are picking them on the streak). Orduspor has had some impressive matches including a 2-1 win against 7th place Eskişehirspor, a draw at 5th place Istanbul BB, and a 1-0 win against 3rd place Manisaspor. I, for some reason, have a feeling about this game and I can see a draw or even a possible 2-1 Orduspor shocker. If this is wrong, don't hate me for taking a risk but if this is right, gimme some props! ;)
2. San Diego Chargers
I seriously pick the Chargers week after week to cover and they always disappoint. However, they are a late-season team and expect Philip Rivers to channel his inner Aaron Rodgers and toss a few TD's over the Jags' okay defense. They'll try to establish an offense with Tolbert coming out of the backfield for some give-and-go short passes because Posluszny will be blitzing all game and forcing Rivers to throw short. This game won't be pretty and will probably end up being much closer than it very well should but I see the Chargers winning on a last minute drive. In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger, "Go Chargers, Go!" (If you don't know what I am talking about, first, be ashamed and secondly, look it up online. It's great!).
