| Alameda, CA (Best E Casino) - JaMarcus Russell, the top pick in this year's draft, will make his first career NFL start when the Oakland Raiders host the AFC West champion San Diego Chargers Sunday. Russell finished a woeful 7-of-23 for 83 yards with his first career touchdown pass and three interceptions in this past Sunday's 49-11 loss at Jacksonville. Russell played in relief of Josh McCown. "When you complete 30 percent of your passes it's going to be tough to move the ball," Raiders coach Lane Kiffin said. |

SAN DIEGO (AP) -Pro Bowl linebacker Shawne Merriman appeared set to start Monday night when the AFC West champion San Diego Chargers host the Denver Broncos, after missing last week's game with a sprained left knee. ``I've been doing pretty much everything the whole week,'' Merriman said Saturday after practice. ``I feel good, I'm moving around good and I'm expecting to play.'' Merriman rested the knee during last week's win over the Lions, but said he was out of sorts watching instead of playing. ``It d |

| (Best E Casino) - Visions of their 10th win will be dancing in the heads of the San Diego Chargers on Monday night, when Norv Turner's club hosts the division rival Denver Broncos in a Christmas Eve showdown. San Diego has been one of the league's hottest teams over the past month, winning four straight games, including last Sunday's 51-14 demolition of the Detroit Lions. The blowout, coupled with a loss by the Broncos to Houston on Thursday night, gave the Chargers their second consecutive AFC West title and a |

| an Payton's club, which will welcome the Philadelphia Eagles to the Louisiana Superdome on Sunday, is gunning to become just the second team in NFL history, and first in NFC annals, to rebound from an 0-4 start to reach the postseason. Only the 1992 San Diego Chargers have pulled off the feat previously, and no one can attest to the difficulty of turning the ship around like this year's Saints. New Orleans has played 7-4 football since their poor opening stretch, with wins over NFC West Champion Seattle and the l |

| lot of respect for who we're playing,'' Saints coach Sean Payton said. ``We know the type of team they are and the tradition that they've created. They really have been the most dominant team in the NFC over the past five or six years.'' The 1992 San Diego Chargers are the only NFL team to begin 0-4 and advance to the playoffs. So on some level, it's impressive the Saints haven't been eliminated from contention yet, while teams such as Philadelphia are out of the playoffs already. The Eagles have been hinder |

| (Best E Casino) - They say the universe has a way of always returning to its natural state. Enter the San Diego Chargers. After a dreadful 1-3 start, the collective football world began to scrutinize the Bolts, with these three sentiments being the most common in the blogosphere and sports talk radio world: 1. Norv Turner is a disastrous head coach who can't hold a light to Marty Schottenheimer. 2. LaDainian Tomlinson, for whatever reason, is struggling mightily and is no longer the best running back in footbal |

| (Best E Casino) - The Tennessee Titans didn't blow a 14-point lead this week and remained alive in the hunt for a playoff spot. A week ago, the Titans were ahead by a 17-3 advantage before breaking down and suffering a 23-17 overtime loss to the San Diego Chargers. This past Sunday, however, they responded with a 26-17 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs to win for the second time in three weeks and remain one game behind the Cleveland Browns for the final AFC wild card berth. Tennessee is behind the eight-ball |

| (Best E Casino) - When you turn the ball over six times and have less than 19 minutes of possession, your chances of winning a football game are nil. That is exactly what happened to Detroit on Sunday as the team was pounded by the San Diego Chargers, 51-14, at Qualcomm Stadium. Nothing went right for the Lions in the game, as they found themselves down 17-0 after the first, largely due to of a pair of LaDainian Tomlinson touchdowns, and trailing 34-7 after 30 minutes.
