BetAnySports’ NFL Pick of the Week- Week 8: San Diego Chargers vs. Denver Broncos – Thursday, Oct. 23

San Diego Chargers vs. Denver Broncos – Thursday, Oct. 23


Current BAS’ Line: Broncos are 8 1/2 point favorites and the total is sitting at 51 1/2


Thursday Night Football features a battle for first place in the AFC
West between the 5-2 San Diego Chargers and the 5-1 Denver Broncos at
Sports Authority Field at Mile High. BetAnySports has opened the surging Broncos as 7.5-point home favorites, but it has yet to set the betting odds for the total line.


The Chargers were rolling along with a five-game winning streak
before it fell to another tough division opponent this past Sunday in a
last-minute 23-20 loss to Kansas City as three-point home favorites. The
total in this game stayed UNDER the 45.5-point closing line and it has
now stayed UNDER in three of their last five games. The 20 points
against Kansas City was the team’s lowest output since an 18-17 loss to
Arizona on opening day. Overall, the offense is ranked ninth in the NFL
in scoring with 26.3 points a game.


The biggest surprise with San Diego this season has been the play of
its defense. It did allow 28 points to Oakland in a tight Week 6 win,
but overall this unit is ranked third in the league in points allowed
(16.3). It is also ranked fifth in total yards allowed (316.4) and third
against the pass.


The Broncos are coming off an impressive 42-17 romp over San
Francisco as 6.5-point home favorites in a game where Peyton Manning set
a new NFL record for career passing touchdowns by tossing four in that
rout. Denver has now outscored its opponents a combined 114-54 in its
last three games. The offense is ranked fifth in total yards per game
(394.0) and the passing attack is accounting for close to 300 of those
yards. It is also ranked first in scoring with 31.5 points a game.


Much like the Chargers, Denver’s defense can take responsibility for a
good chunk of this team’s success so far. This unit is allowing an
average of just 20.2 points and in is sixth in total yards allowed
(316.8) and third against run.


BetAnySports’ past betting trends in this matchup tend to favor San
Diego on the road. While the Chargers have lost five of the last six
meetings straight-up, they have been able to cover against the spread in
five of its last six road games against the Broncos. I am going with
that play again as San Diego uses that extra half point to the fullest
in a seven point loss on the road to its division rivals.

NFL Odds Board Pits Wild Card Hopefuls Head-to-Head in Week 16

A three-game win streak has put the San Diego Chargers back in the conversation for an AFC wild card berth, but their season isn't about to get any easier in Week 16. This Saturday - on Christmas Eve, no less - San Diego will square off on the NFL odds board against an equally-postseason hungry Detroit Lions team from the NFC.

Both Detroit and San Diego remain eligible candidates on Bovada's NFL futures board, but only one team can walk away as Super Bowl champions. To even get there, they'll have to slug out a holiday victory that proves they deserve it.

The 9-5 Lions have emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the NFC North, but if they want to live up to the five-game win streak that put them back on the map this fall, they'll have to come through in the final hour of the season.

Standing between the Chargers and a playoff berth remain a number of threats from the Cincinnati Bengals and New York Jets to the Tennessee Titans and Oakland Raiders. Since only one spot remains, every game and every winnable opportunity counts in the final stretch of the season.
