Play Title *5-1 L6 NFL, 21-10 L31 Totals* Burns' MAIN EVENT!!
Play Selected Total: 44/-106
I'm playing on San Diego and Denver to finish UNDER the total. These teams were involved in a pair of "shootouts" against each other last season. Those games both produced a ton of points and those results remain in many people's memories. However, this is an entirely different Denver team. The Broncos aren't scoring as many points - they've only gone over 23 once in five games and they have yet to score more than 27. However, they're also allowing less than they did last year. A lot less. In fact, they're allowing a mere 8.6 points per game (best in the NFL) and only five points per game (and just 222 total yards) in their two road games. Not surprisingly, the UNDER is a perfect 5-0 in their five games. Yes, the Chargers are explosive on offense. However, that's been the case for awhile now and yet the UNDER remains a very healthy 12-7-1 their last 20 home games. That includes a perfect 4-0 record when playing a home game with an over/under line ranging from 42.5 to 45. Their most recent game here finished with a final score of 23-13. It should also be noted that the UNDER is 12-7 the last 19 times that the Chargers were coming off a bye, including 2-0 the last couple of seasons. All things considered, I feel that tonight's total is generous. 9* Main Event

i do agree with this reasoning... but you can't base your bet off that!!!!!!! i mean you can also so if denver wins this game is smooth sailing for them the rest of the year... so why wouldn't they want to win!??! look at tennessee????!!!!! they had to win but didnt!!!! you can't use this logic to bet... unless you like loosing money
say stuff like... denver has had a hard time playing at SD... or SD is coming off a buy... or something other than its a must win game... i mean every game is a must win to an athlete!!!!

300♦ DENVER BRONCOS - If the same Denver defense steps on the field tonight, the one I saw in person last week against New England, then this shouldn't even be close. Not with the leadership and experience the Broncos have on their side.
Brian Dawkins is the inspirational leader, while Champ Bailey is the strong, silent type. And I want to take you back to the Cowboys game, in which Tony Romo attacked Bailey's corner non-stop in that game. Bailey took it personal and stepped up in that final series to stymie the Pokes.
Well for those unaware, Bailey and San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers have quite the rivalry thanks to Rivers' garbage jargon. Yeah, it's Rivers who likes to trash talk the veteran corner, and that is generally something that will get him fired up.
It certainly won't help the Bolts, who have gotten into a terrible habit of being pedestrian at the beginning of a game. True, they've been a second half team, but this is the wrong team to do that with. Especially since it can be so ferocious with the league's No. 1 ranked defense. That's right, since the Giants were humiliated yesterday in the Big Easy, it's the bucking Broncos who own defensive bragging rights in the NFL, allowing just 252.8 yards per game.
And this isn't a defense that is excelling because of one aspect or the other, it's a stop unit that ranks fifth against the pass (allowing 171.8 points per game) and fourth against the rush (allowing 81 points per game).
That won't bode well for the Chargers, who have scored in only one first quarter and have been outscored 28-10 in the opening period and 55-29 in the first half. Even though the Bolts hold a 72-47 advantage in the second half against their foes, falling behind a team that has revenge on the brain won't be a good idea. And make note, the Broncos have outscored opponents 82-17 in the final three periods - including a stifling 16-0 in the third quarter and incredible 43-7 in the fourth quarter and overtime.
They're eerily similar in the aforementioned category, but I'd much rather have the undefeated division rival that has had this game circled since last season's season-ending 52-21 loss, a setback that meant the Chargers were going to the playoffs while the Broncos would make New Year's Eve plans.
Denver will control this game, and gun for the outright win. Take the points.
