Week 6 MNF: Denver Broncos (2-3) vs San Diego Chargers (3-2)

[iAM-IncReDiBLe-]

If one team isn't afraid of Manning its the Chargers. They own him an I expect a close fought win by the Chargers

Broncos signed a former LSU track and field guy Trindon Holliday, 5'5". Going to be returning kicks hopefully since its been lackluster for Denver lately. He averaged something around 40 yds per KR according to Broncos tweet

The only good thing about the Chargers season so far is that they haven't lost to a divisional opponent yet. Hopefully that won't change Monday.

Manning definitely hasn't had his best games against the Chargers but, its an actual rival now so I got a toss up. They're on a 2 game losing streak and I can see a 3rd coming soon. I'm almost beginning not to even care anymore at least for a while so it'll be one less thing that creates less stress.

All the people talking "Peyton Manning struggles against the Chargers"
That is stupid, he's on a different team operating under different players and a somewhat different scheme.

Anyways, if Thomas doesn't freakin fumble after a long catch and no Manning picks again, Broncos win.

I've been starting Gates since week one, he hasn't done jack all year.

Yeah, well my other TE, Jimmy Graham, is on bye.

As a charger fan , i wholeheartedly see any of the following happen:

1. Royal fumbling punts/kr against his former team
2. Rivers getting sacked at least 5 times today
3. If on a 2 minute drill with Rivers to tie or gain the lead, he will either fumble, get picked off, sacked, or sacked/fumbled.
4. If the Chargers are up by at least 10 in the 4th quarter, and have a good running game going, they win this game.

I see a Charger loss, mainly since Miller and Dumervil would be too much for the Chargers O-line.

I hope i'm wrong.

Tidbit to take note of is that Joe Mays has been replaced by Keith Brookings at middle linebacker. From what I heard, Brookings did well against the Raiders in run-stopping, and Mays wasn't getting the defense set quickly enough against the Patriots, a major contributor to how the Patriots marched all over them. Also, the Chargers will likely be starting a rookie at left tackle. If Dumervil can't unleash in this game, then they need to think long and hard about putting Derek Wolfe on the end or someone else who can set the edge as well as create a rush.

Keys for the Broncos:

1) Get an early lead
2) Don't turn the ball over
3) Create pressure on Rivers, especially from Dumervil.

Eddie Royal is questionable for tonight's game, so I doubt we'll see him play. For the Broncos, Tracy Porter is sick and didn't make the trip. That means Tony Carter will likely be stepping into that role.
