AAA's SATURDAY NIGHT *Chargers/49ers* CUSTOMER APPRECIATION TOTAL!
(NFL) San Diego vs. San Francisco,
Total: 40.50 | -107.00 Under
Result: Win
This is an 8* TOP TOTAL on the OVER between the San Diego Charges and the San Francisco 49ers.

For a number of different situational and strong trend based reasons, I expect this total to eclipse the posted number as the game comes down the stretch. Both teams come in motivated, but for different reasons. The Chargers need to win out the final two weeks and also get some help to make the postseason; the only thing they can control is their play on the field today and despite being down a few players because of injury, I think San Diego comes in focused and believe that will translate to points on the board: "We've got two big games coming up, and we've got to turn our focus to that," Bolts wide receiver Eddie Royal said earlier in the week. "That will be a great time to get going." San Francisco has been eliminated from playoff contention, but will be looking to end the season on a high note after a disappointing campaign. It's hard not to imagine the 49ers also relishing the chance to play spoiler here as well. San Francisco was also hit by the injury bug this season, a big reason why the team will miss the playoffs for the first time since 2010. LB Ahmad Brooks is out with a dislocated thumb and RT Anthony Davis will likely not return for the rest of the season after missing the last four games with concussion. Also note the 49ers defense took another hit in last week's loss in Seattle when leading tackler Chris Borland twisted his ankle. QB Colin Kaepernick has been a huge failure this year, but he'll be playing for his job today, the offense has totaled just two TD's during a three-game slide, the franchises longest skid since an 0-5 start in 2010: "Regardless of the situation, we're going out to win," Kaepernick said yesterday. "There's no one on this team that's going to step on that field and say, 'Hey, our season is over. We're not going out to compete.' We're going to compete until the end." It's a strong situational play, but it becomes even stronger when taking into account a few very strong OVER tendencies that each of these teams has exhibited in this spot recently and over the last few seasons; note that San Diego has seen the total go OVER the number in two of three non-conference games this season and in eight of its last 11 in the same position over the last two. And note that San Francisco has seen the total sail above the posted number in nine of its last 16 after a divisional contest and in seven of its last 12 non-conference games. After taking all of the above factors into consideration, in my opinion all signs do indeed point to the OVER as the sharp move in this one.
