I will bet against Peyton Manning everyday IF the temperature for this one is Denver@NE cold. He can't handle it.
Watching the weather forecast....

Peyton Manning losing in back to back divisional home games...
Peyton Manning losing in back to back home game to divisional rivals..
I just can't see it happening... then again anything can happen..
San Diego probably may covers but loses. Seems like these matchups have been decided by 7 - 8 pts lately.. so at the moment seems like San Diego is the pick...But I think Manning is on a mission and will go all out blitzkrieg on the Chargers.. And Rivers will try his best to catch up but come up short. Broncos win by 10
Sip on that plus money honey!

Manning is way more dominant this season than he was last and I have a gut feeling he isn't going to let the chaaaaahgahs boot him from maybe his last really dominant season and good chance to make a Super Bowl run.
Scenario 1- If he just gets through this game we will either have Manning vs Brady (classic) or Manning vs Colts (classic)
Scenario 2- if he doesn't he will be considered the best regular season QB ever/ one of the biggest playoff busts.
His bum of a QB brother has 2 rings and you know Peyton wants another one.
The last four Super Bowl champions have played the Eagles first week of regular season.. Chargers did this year 
Too bad that trend will end!
Broncos/ Manning in a route -9 
Scary.. But why not

People getting hysterical about Bolts after Dalton gift wrapped the game for them. Peyton will throw a pick every now and then but not 3 or 4. SD has to earn this one and Broncos are waiting.
I think SD has overachieved to this point. They almost lost to KC's taxi squad or wouldn't be here. I'm not convinced about them as far as winning the game. Matthews injury could be a big loss for Bolts.
Den has bad memories of last years playoff disappointment and want to make amends. I think the point about Welker is a valid one. He will be very important and has great exp in playoffs.
I felt during the regular season the Broncos sometimes ran just to protect Manning. Well they were protecting him for just this playoff season. From now on Manning goes full throttle for 4Q's. Expect to see Broncos exceed 30 and sometimes 40 pts on the scoreboard again. What they were doing in the earlier part of the year. Can SD keep up?
Den -9.5

Manning does not preform well in cold weather, its been proven. The Chargers have played ball control (as much as possible) in the first two meetings going over 100 yards rushing in each, mix those two together and I think Denver wins in a low(er) scoring game than most think 21-17, Bolts +9.5 and the U.
In the back of my mind I keep thinking Manning v Brady next week and how much money that game would bring in .. I am not big on conspiracy theories but in a toss up between taking the points or the chargers ML that weighed heavily on my choice

I expect the Broncos to score every single with Wes Welker back which was missing in game two. If they Chargers does not score on every single possession this game will be over by the 3rd quarter with the Broncos up +17. Don't see the Chargers D keeping up against a fully Broncos offense. And don't compare this offense to last years team against the Ravens. Knowshon Monreno is a much more improve screen running back, and Julius Thomas and Welker will be just one weapon too many for San Diego to deal with.
The Chargers D has held Denver to its lowest play total in each of the games. In the first game the Chargers did not have Ingram back yet and he has been a difference maker. He's just getting into seasoned form as this is his 6th game. As far as Bailey there is a reason he is a nickle back because he's old and slow. The Denver D will be quicker because of the rest? Really an extra week is going to make them quicker? They have been suspect all year and no Von Miller to pressure Rivers, I don't know. Division games are different more like a Chess match, I see it as Chargers attempting to grind it out and keep Manning off the field and the Broncos trying to exploit the weak but improved San Diego secondary. Mathews will play and not be gimpy. More concerned with Hardwick and Fluker. I think it's close, just my opinion.

SD & under once again the Chargers will keep Manning & company off the field. They may not win it SU but +10 is to much love for the Broncos even though they are at home. Weather will not be a factor here nor will crowd noise as the Chargers are no strangers here as a matter of fact I hear Rivers loves playing in Denver. And Manning's track record the the playoff's even being the #1 seed is not outstanding. I'll take the San Diego Charger's + 10

It's like saying please put sand in the Vaseline. You're very lucky if you got SD+10 while it was still hot! I can only get Denver -9 now but hoping for - 7

was looking at the history with Peyton Manning vs San Diego the last 10 years when he was playing for Colts. 2-5 SU, 1-6 ATS... 0-2 SU & ATS in postseason play... margin of victory in those wins was by 3 pts.
and with the Broncos 3-1 SU, 2-2 ATS... for overall record of 5-6 SU, and 3-8 ATS.. largest margin by 11 pts, and other two games margin was by 7 pts.
I'm really tempted to take the Chargers, but.. I don't know why the line was set at 10. -9 still seems a little high knowing the Chargers came to Denver and beated them a month ago. seems like the bookies want you to take Chargers knowing that Peyton historically has a tough time playing them. seems like a trap to me, but I think -7 would make more sense and even up the action... but I doubt it's going to go that low.. should be an interesting game nonetheless

I think 10 points is too much, Broncos M/L would be a safer wager, but wouldn't pay anything. I gotta go with my gut - Broncos win, but in a close "heartbreaker" for San Diego. Yeah, Peyton is playoff Kryptonite - but that loss might come next week against Tommy Terrific.
Broncos win/Chargers cover the 10
Good Luck All!!!!!
AMEN! End of Sermon.
SAN DIEGO + 10 (Prime Play!)

Totally forgot about this and just saw that Ryan Matthews did not do a Friday practice. For whatever that is worth San Diego needs the running game to have a chance. Ryan Matthews basically helped won the game for Chargers last meeting.. And with WelKer back I think it might just pay dividends. Don't think their will be any #1 seed upsets like the last couple of seasons has been. Good luck all
