The Bolts are hosting the Fighting Tebows in Week 12 in sunny Southern California. The winner will pull one game closer behind AFC West leader Oakland. Expect the Chargers to be that team on Sunday afternoon.
Here are three desperate teams that will claim a much-needed win to stay in the playoff picture in Week 12:
San Diego Chargers (4-6)
Despite San Diego's 4-6 record, they are a solid home team, having won three of five in 2011. Tebow has been a road assassin, however, and the Chargers' losing streak won't end easily.
Philip Rivers and the Chargers offense is still much too potent for the Denver defense to contain all day long while Tebow struggles to sustain drives. The Broncos will be game for yet another week on the road, but San Diego outlasts them to send both teams to 5-6 on the year.
Philadelphia Eagles (4-6)
The Eagles looked great last week despite Vince Young's three interceptions. Their defense may be on to something after Sunday night's dominant effort at New York.
Vince Young is a winner under center, and he'll avoid killer turnovers against a retched Pats' secondary.
New York Jets (5-5)
The Buffalo Bills have been getting blown out as of late. What happened? Three-straight losses meets two-straight losses when the Bills visit the Jets at MetLife Stadium this Sunday.
Both AFC East teams are falling farther and farther behind the Pats and desperately need to win out to maintain any hope of a wild card berth in the AFC.
The Jets don't mess around at home, though. They are 4-1 there and will blank the Bills in Week 12. Buffalo is out of sorts to say the least, and New York can't get Tebowed this time around.
