Column: Philip Rivers versus Team Spanos? If Colts-Bolts happens, flip a coin

Philip Rivers versus the Chargers, who wins?

“Neutral field, it’s a pick ‘em game,” says longtime bookmaker Jimmy Vaccaro.

We may never know. The coronavirus pandemic threatens the 2020 NFL season, and it would take both the Colts and the Chargers reaching the AFC playoffs to match the quarterback against his former club.

If Rivers vs. Team Spanos were to happen next winter, count on this: Hundreds of thousands of San Diegans would watch.

You might think Rivers signing with Indianapolis, as he did this month, improved the Colts’ Super Bowl odds.

Vaccaro said otherwise.
