Week 6 caps off with yet another Denver Broncos primetime game. I don’t know how they keep doing this to us, but here we are. After a 2-0 Thursday we finished up 3-2 yesterday for a 5-2 start to the week. Hopefully we can keep that momentum rolling tonight.

The Spread: Chargers (-4.5)

I’ve been thinking about who I want to take in this game since last night and the answer might gross you out. Yes, that means I’m thinking about Denver. While they have looked horrendous offensively they still do have a good defense and the Chargers are missing key players on offense (Keenan Allen and Rashawn Slater to name a few) and not to mention Joey Bosa on defense. LA has been the better team this year, but they haven’t been as impressive as it may seem. They have wins over the Raiders, Texans, and Browns teams that have combined to win 4 games through 6 weeks. The line here just feels like too much for a divisional game. Both teams need this, but the Broncos risk their season slipping away with a loss. Russ is also due to have at least a decent game. He can’t keep up this level of poor play forever. I can’t believe I’m going to type this. I actually just threw up in my mouth thinking about it, but you gotta do it tonight. Broncos country, let’s ride.

The Play: Broncos +4.5

Over/Under (46)

I mean I think you just have to keep taking unders in Broncos games no matter what. 46 is for sure an attainable number, but again we are talking about the Broncos right now. I think for them to win the game they’re going to have to control the ball and burn the clock. They haven’t been a quick strike scoring team either this year and I think that plays to the under as well. The Chargers can get theirs when they need to, but I’m hoping with a slightly depleted offense they’ll struggle at times to move the ball. You’ll have to sweat this one out, but it’s the right move.

The Play: Under 46

Final Prediction

With my earlier predictions of Broncos +4.5 and Under 46 give me the Broncos 21-20.
