Well, someone has to win this game. The Chargers could very easily be 0-3, but head coach Brandon Staley was let off the hook by the Vikings last weekend. Also sitting at 1-2 are the Raiders, although their predicament seems even worse with all kinds of issues on and off the field. Not too surprisingly, the public loves L.A.
