~MNF Line~

If Denver is 5-0 going into SD who is 2-2 and has struggled so far this season, how is the line -3.5 SD??? I know SD typically plays Denver tough but this year is a different year.

All I hear and read about is how good Denver is and that they have one of the toughest defenses in the league. I know the obvious pick is Denver but based on the line, I am leaning SD.

I know that Lang is also on SD and public is slightly in favor of Denver. Can anyone explain why Denver is not favored?

Because sd is going to whoop on denver. They need this win bad and if they lose then theres no way they will get the division.

The bye week is HUGE for teams. IMO, especially if they're going against a strong defense. Allows players to get healthy, lots of film and practice.

Look at what Brees and New Orleans did to the Giants. Same scenario.

Leaning on the Chargers. I like the fact they're coming off a bye and I think there could be a Bronco's let down after beating the Pats last week. Haven't made anything 'official' just yet though.

I know that Bye Week is crucial but it doesn't make a team better than they really are. On paper Denver is a far better team than Chargers. I am still leaning Chargers because I dont think public will win again tonight after they won last night with ATL.
