Entering Week Eight, you won’t be able to convince either the Chargers (3-3) or Saints (2-5) that this game isn’t pivotal for their respective seasons. The Bolts are unexpectedly at .500 following a their loss to the Cardinals a week ago and the Saints are one the wrong side of a five-game losing streak after winning their first two with a tremendous offensive output.
The Chargers need this win to keep from dropping their playoff hopes even sooner and the Saints...well...they’re just tired of losing and would like to see this lengthy skid come to a screeching halt.
