Hi,
My handle is A1Johnny, I live in San Diego and am a big Charger fan and yes, I am super disapointed in their performance this season. Ted is gone and Norv needs to go next. Anyway, I have enjoyed reading all the picks and comments this season and thought I would give my picks for week 10 and see how I do against you all.

Sorry I’m so late with the research; I blew it because I didn’t realize that there was a Thurs night game. Fortunately I got my pool picks done in advance, but I didn’t get to change the Atl/NO game like I wanted or my Monday night score. Sigh. Oh well
