chargers -9?

I'm a huge Chargers fan, and I know everyone is picking them the AFC West again, but to be favored by 9 1/2 vs the Panthers is crazy to me. I know the Panthers don't have Steve Smith, but the Chargers have Rivers, Tomlinson, and Gates all coming back from major injuries. Plus, they didn't resign Lorenzo Neal because they thought that Andrew Pinnock could ably fill his shoes, but then cut him due to injuries. So they have a rookie Mike Tolbert, who looks good, but is still a rookie, as starting fullback. That's just too many question marks. I fully expect the Chargers to win, but 9 1/2 points? If I could bring myself to bet against my team, I'd be all over that. But I can't.

Welcome back, NFL.
