OUR PREDICTION: Drew Brees will fight tooth and nail to get the Saints their first win of the season and while Sean Payton's offense is less explosive on the road than it is in New Orleans, look for his squad to play hard today. The Chargers are a competitive 1-2 but they're 1-2 nonetheless. This should be a field-goal in either direction, so take the points with a desperate Saints team.
