Are the Chargers free money this weekend...?

[westcoastO]

Or is this a setup? Or are books or public thinking Denver is that good because they beat up on Oakland and San Diego was upset by Carolina?

I mean it's -1.5 on BJ. I know it's Denver's home opener but seriously... is this free money?

Line just seems so low and I feel like betting Chargers is exactly what they want me to do. Any thoughts??

Its definitely not a setup. The way denver dismantled oakland on monday night I was kind of surprised that they still made the chargers the favorite, but I was thinking before it came out that if they did... it made me like them more. I see it being a close game...could go either way but I like SD to win. Recently the chargers have owned them and match up well...only angle i see for denver is revenge and they are at home. Chargers should be focused for this after getting a wake up call in week 1. It's definitely not an easy game by any means but I will be playing the chargers for a couple units

oh and i like to fade mnf teams with blowout wins the following week

[westcoastO]

I mean Chargers have the world on their shoulders if they start 0-2 just because of the expectations. I just feel like 1.5 is the books begging me to take SD but how can you not? Do they win 21-20???

[rjb1816]

it is a big game for both teams...the chargers dont want to start 0-2 but denver needs to win this game if they have any hope of winning the division...you cant lose at home to the expected division winner and then think you're gonna compete. wagerline % slightly favors denver right now. I just think people will look at it like denver destroyed denver and sd lost to a team they were favored over by 10 pts. I could see it being a late fg to win by either team

[westcoastO]

Was ready to unload on this game but thinking otherwise now. Was thinking about going SD to win SU too but might just completely back off I really don't know now

agree 100% bill...looking at things right now and that might be a very nice play

[westcoastO]

I think over is the play for minnesota and indy

[xxxFTWxxx]

i already put in minny +3 -130 and min +9 denver +7.5 teasers for 2*

these should be good plays. ill probably be getting a lot of action from my fades on indy -2.5 so ill have a bunch more minny by sunday im sure

Line should be sd -6, but your right they only have it at -1.5 partly because denve is at home and because of last weeks results. San diego should be more focused this week against a division rival and playing more desperate. San diego is 4-0 ats and su vs denver the last 3 years. San diego is 10 ats as a road favorite of 3 or less since 1992. Denver only 3-10 ats last 3 years versus division oppenents. I would definitely take san diego!

The one big thing that makes me want to take SD is that Oakland's offense really wasn't that bad, even in a blowout. No way is SD's D going to play like Oakland's, which was one of the more pathetic efforts I've seen in years. I think Denver's win looked better than it was.
I had this one at SD -3.5 so hopefully I was right.
Good Luck.

broncos have a few things in their favor imo

-Revenge; from last year not even being able to get in the endzone in either game against the chargers while getting embarrased on defense aswell.

-Confidence might favor the broncos off of a road win where they were sharp in all areas, getting brandon marshal back this week also helps boost their confidence also.

-Chargers off of a devistating last second loss, and loss of merriman on d.


The Chargers should win, they are the better team in nearly every area, but nothing is for sure on the road in a division rivalry like this. Books look like they got 50/50 action comming in so I dont see a trap line, the broncos are improved and the line reflects that. Sunday should be closer then last years matchups, you can bet that much.

one thing that oakland exposed....the broncos run def is pretty bad.

LT gonna run wild

Didn't see the game, why did the Chargers lose to the Panthers?
