San Francisco 49ers at San Diego Chargers 2010 NFL Predictions, Odds, and Picks Week 15: Head football coach Mike Singletary will lead his San Francisco 49ers on the road to Qualcomm Stadium to take on the San Diego Chargers on Thursday night at 8:20 PM ET on the NFL Network. The 49ers are at 5-8 but just a game back of the Rams at 3nd in the NFC West while the Chargers sit at 7-6 after beating the first place Kansas City Chiefs but remain a game back in 2nd in the AFC West. With just three games left both teams are searching for wins to get them to the division lead as that is mostly the only way to the playoffs to win the division. “For me, that game doesn’t mean anything if we don’t go win Thursday,” quarterback Philip Rivers said. “To me, that’s the way each one of these games is going to be once we win them, then it’s going to become a moot point if we don’t go win the next game.
”I think we’ve put ourselves in a position now, one game back, obviously we understand nothing has changed. We’ve got to go win the rest of them. That’s all we can control. You never know what can happen … in three weeks.” The odds makers at SBG Global have the San Diego Chargers -9 point favorites at home against the San Francisco 49ers.
