Justin Herbert's Odyssey: Week 3 Picks

When Odysseus was returning to Ithaca after 10 years fighting the Trojan war and 10 years lost at sea he said,

"Nevertheless I long—I pine, all my days—

to travel home and see the dawn of my return.

And if a god will wreck me yet again on the wine-dark sea,

I can bear that too, with a spirit tempered to endure.

Much have I suffered, labored long and hard by now

in the waves and wars. Add this to the total—

bring the trial on!"

Odysseus romanticized the idea of home, but when he returned things were different. Kind of like when Nondas joined the merchant marines and when he returned home from his first trip, he found his wife had left him, taken the dog with her and his home was in foreclosure.

The Chargers are known as the team with no home, but home is where the heart is.

Maybe, an advantage can be gained by a team that is always on the road, toughening them up in the most adverse conditions. The 2025 season has started with a bang, dominating the scoring in both games so far, traveling to Brazil and then exotic Las Vegas.

Sometimes home is what you make it. Sometimes you have to feign the outcast, grab Telemachus and slay the suitors; restoring order and honoring the loyalty of your faithful.

At 2.7 seconds Broncos quarterback Bo Nix ranks third in the league for average time to throw. Against the odds, can new signee (and former first round Raiders draft pick) Clelin Ferrell get in tune with his “Bruise Brothers,” apply some pressure and salvage a career in act two of his “I Got Mack’s Back" tour? Can Herbert pick apart the “No Fly Zone” and the chaos at home with “Slayer,” Ladski and QJ-Anon on the rise? Can Hampton finally show some burst after a night in his own bed? 

“…Bring the trial on.”

They come home this week to play the Broncos. The Greek Uncles from Chicago are riding the team's hot streak picking the Chargers to cover (-2.5). We are also taking the 49ers to beat the fraudulent Cardinals and are still keeping an eye on the job status of DJ McDaniel. The Dolphins offense seems to be functioning but despite looking okay on Thursday night, they still lost by 10. With the added rest until the next game, ownership may decide to pull the plug. 

Last Week 0-2.

Season Total 2-2.
