I like this matchup for the Broncos. The Bolts are horrible on defense, and hopefully Manning has recovered during the bye week after losing his zip on the ball pre-break. Denver have just the sort of offense to give San Diego problems, with balance on the ground and a triggerman who can pick on some terrible coverage.
Philip Rivers is having a great season and the emerging Keenan Allen and veteran Antonio Gates anchor an excellent passing offense. Danny Woodhead works well in the role that Sproles used to fill. Unfortunately, the Denver front may challenge Rivers tonight and although the Broncos can be caught deep, it may not be enough to cover.
I expect points here, as Denver prosper and San Diego play catch-up. The loss of John Fox is difficult to judge, but with a leader like Peyton Manning under center, I expect the Broncos to cope.
Pick: Denver Broncos -7 @ 2
Pick: Over 57 @ 1.91
Pick: 1st TD Knowshon Moreno @ 9
Pick: Anytime TD Keenan Allen @ 2.25
