Green Bay Packers vs. San Diego Chargers: Live Score, Video and Analysis

Final Score: GB - 45 SD - 38

In America's game of the week, the Green Bay Packers try to extend their undefeated streak against Phillip Rivers and the 4-3 San Diego Chargers.

Obviously, the 7-0 Packers come into the game as the favorite, but the Chargers can be a scary team in their own right as well. The game kicks off at 4:15 eastern time from beautiful San Diego, California.

The visiting Packers are coming off a bye week after coming away with a close win over the Minnesota Vikings.

The Packers' passing offense is hands-down the best in the NFL, and they will likely showcase that against San Diego. Aaron Rodgers is having an MVP-type season and has really established himself as one of the most dominant QBs in the game today.

Despite how explosive Green Bay's offense is, their defense has not been as good this season as it was on their unbelievable run to the Super Bowl only a year ago. Though CB Charles Woodson is still playing at a very high level, the Packers still lack Pro Bowl safety Nick Collins and have had injury issues with both CB Sam Shields and S Morgan Burnett (both are listed as probable).

Their pass defense is really the Packers only weakness in this game, but when facing Vincent Jackson, Malcom Floyd and Antonio Gates, that could be reason for serious concern.

The Chargers come into this week after a scary loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on a Halloween Monday Night Football Game. River's "Phumble" in overtime sealed the deal for the Chiefs in the matchup—hopefully this won't effect him mentally when he faces the defending champs.

Having dynamic players on offense really helps to make the Chargers as good as they are. As I mentioned, they have three great receiving options, but they are able to match that with two solid RBs in Ryan Matthews and Mike Tolbert.

The Chargers are pretty sound on defense as well, but it is really their injuries that limit the team as a whole. All Pro Guard Kris Dielman is out with a severe concussion, and star LB/DE Shaun Phillips is listed as doubtful with a foot injury. RB Ryan Matthews is also listed as questionable with a groin injury—I expect him to still participate in the game, but there is no doubt that it will affect his production.

This game will be an absolute shootout.

Because of injuries to both teams, this game could be incredibly close. That being said, this "game of the week" could very well end up being the most exciting game this week.
