HAL is a Charger Fan

Good news Charger fans: apparently losing is actually getting us closer to the playoffs!

For those of you scratching your heads at that statement, let me explain:

Accuscore.com runs computer simulations of sporting events and entire sporting seasons, and one of the projections they put out is NFL Playoff odds, which are updated weekly as the results of games are fed into the computer.

Before the London Trip, the Chargers were given a 56% percent chance of making the playoffs. Not bad for a 3-4 2nd place team with no defense.

But now, after going to 3-5 and falling 1 1/2 games behind the Broncos, the Charger's playoff odds are 60%! Sweet!

At this rate, all we have to do is lose 5 or 6 more games and we'll be golden! Super Bowl here we come!
