Who feels confident in their SD@SF pick?

The Chargers suffer from injuries on key positions: Allen and Mathews won't play, Rivers isn't 100% healthy. The 49ers lost Borland for the season, he was an important part of their defense. Regardless, it doesn't look like it's going to be easy for San Diego to score.

On the flipside, the 49ers offense has been trash the last few weeks, so it would be surprising if they can score a lot of points.

This is a matchup with the potential that a defensive unit (the 49ers') will score the most points and thus decide the game.

I don't feel good in the least. But I think the 49ers are in worse shape as an organization. Their HC has already signed the papers with another team, they cut some important player due to rape charges, their QB is a pariah, everyone is calling for the OC's head on a pike, the new stadium seems cursed, etc.

SD is a banged up team, but SF is in complete meltdown.

The conversation above is why I let a coinflip decide my pick for this game.
