Point Spread: 7.00 | -110.00 Denver (Away)
Result: Win
The Denver's wild-card chances are slim as if the Broncos' 3-6 wasn't bad enough, the team is also just 1-5 in conference games.
Denver ranks 11th in total offense and the running game is solid, ranking 9th (126.7 YPG), while averaging a robust 5.2 YPC. Phillip Lindsay (Colorado) leads all NFL rookies with 591 rushing yards on 5.4 YPC. The defense is led by pass rushers Von Miller (nine sacks) and Bradley Chubb (eight to lead all NFL rookies). Miller has registered 15 career sacks against the Chargers - his highest total against any team.
Denver really needs a win and with pass rushers like Miller and Chubb, and I look for a close divisional game.
Defensively the Chargers have given up a total of 244 yards a game in the air and have allowed 15 touchdowns. The Chargers have managed to get 10 picks and 26 sacks. The rushing defense is giving up 112 yards a game and allowed 3 touchdowns.
The Broncos may not have the advantage when it comes to the stats, but it is definitely a team that has been scrappy all season and even gave the Chiefs a run for their money a couple of weeks ago. We like the Denver Broncos plus the TD here.
