How the fuck are the Chargers -9 vs Denver?

[Broncos625]

While on the surface it does look like a huge Denver collapse, the fact is, it is actually a decent season considering all they have went through. Think back to John Elway years when he WAS the team througout the 80's. It has been similar this year where Cutler IS the team. Only thing is, Cutler isn't as good as Elway. Anyway, considering all they have gone through, as a Denver fan, I think it has been pretty successful. But as I said in my earlier post in this thread, SD will beat up on the Broncos this Sunday night.

BTW, my bashing of my team earlier was a result of sheer frustration over the Buffalo game. My thoughts here are after a night of reflecting on the season. :toast:

Chargers will destroy Denver. Vegas set this line knowing it will get tons of Denver action. SD is the play here.

Guys this line is a joke. Oddsmakers are inflating this one like no tomorrow because they knew everyone and their mother would want to take San Diego so fuck that give me the Broncos plus the 9 all day long with a huge coaching mismatch in a divisional playoff game! Vegas can try and bait everyone into laying all these points with the Chargers but not me!

Would expect the second live Chargers will win this game in a blowout fashion due to momentum and revenging of 1 point lost early in the season to Denver. Denver can not stop the run, can not stop the pass, so more than a TD win could be possible. So why you expect Vegas giving you an easy line. This line is not a joke but this line tried to puss people away from betting SD. To me 7.5 or 9 are no different, either win by TD or + FG = 10 pts ( unless there are too many FGs in this contest that end up to 21-13 or 16-24 scores).
Final: 34-10 Bolts

love denver in this spot.

love denver in this spot.

It's a tough game to predict that's for sure. Denver has won at Atlanta, beat TB, won at NYJ. But then they lose at home to Oakland, lose at KC, lose at home to Bills and at home to Jags. While I would bet on SD (I'm not betting this game BTW), you really never know. Denver has been better on road than at home.

Then I think about their game at Carolina and I can see SD doing something like that to Denver. As a huge Broncos fan, I don't need any money on the game to get my blood pumping so I'm going to enjoy it as a fan and hope that Denver can pull it together for one game and enjoy the playoffs until Indy comes in and destroys them. :nohead:

Don't mind being called an ass, but tell me how Denver stops the run...

they don't:lol: they haven't, and they will not. but i think it's a great opportunity to throw them in a 10.5 pt teaser lol...very good opportunity

viejo, i have no idea. i also have no idea who runs the ball for denver. they lost 2 more running backs yesterday. still love denver, but i'm going to quit talking bout it, cause of the gambling gods.:toast:

 

[AlwayzRight]

Isnt Champ and DJ Johnson back for this game?...........

 

[Kaveman]

Smart money takes the points here.

 

[Sea-Urchin]

The only way the Chargers will win this week is if that dumb ass Norv Turner throws in some play actions, balance the running/passing attacks like last week in Tampa. LT was under utilized up until week 15. It took that dumb ass Norv Turner 15 weeks to figure that out.

Interesting Chargers stat

The last 3 years when they have been playing at home as a favorite of 9 to 9.5:

-9 vs. Oakland W 34-7
-9 vs. Denver W 23-3
-9.5 vs Detroit W 51-14
-9.5 vs. Baltimore W 32-14
-9.5 vs. Oakland W 28-14
-9 vs. Kansas City W 20-9
-9.5 vs. St. Louis W 38-24

7-0 ATS


The line opened at Chargers -9, I have seen -8.5 so we will have to watch closely.

 

[coitus_maximus]

Don't forget the hatred between Rivers and Cutler.

That should also really fuel the fire in this one.

I have bet only a few NFL games this year, but I did lay the wood on San Diego this week....One of us will win....:toast:

 

[Gumbi]

I just want San Diego to win because then my Chargers to win the Super Bowl bet is still alive!!!! I do like the Chargers at home in this game though.... It looks like Tomlinson is healthy and they are playing good football. Denver however is so streaky and live and die (mostly die) by Cutler's arm. I will stay away form this game, but will be a Chargers fan this weekend.

 

[MattFoley]

Both defenses are terrible and are terrible against the pass....I see this game being no different then the first meeting....give me the over and denver plus the points.

Viejo, didn't you play the total in the Chicago-Green Bay game? I thought I heard something like that. How did that work out?
