MNF: Denver @ San Diego
How Do You Pick This One..!!
The surprising Denver Bronco’s travel to San Diego tonight sporting a 5-0 record and 5-0 against the spread. They have held opponents to just an 8.6 points per game average while putting up 19.8 average on offense. The Chargers 2-2 giving up a whopping 25.5 points per game.
The rushing game is the focus on tonights game as the Bronco’s are rushing for 139 yards per game while the Chargers are giving up 151 per game. Denver’s rush defense has been outstanding allowing only 81.0 on the ground.
The Chargers are only averaging 53.8 yards per game on the ground. The passing game for the Chargers has been the bright light this season throwing for nearly 300 yards per game. This being said, we must take into consideration that they have been plagued with injuries on both sides of the ball but most significantly the injury to leading rusher LaDanian Tomlinson, who from all reports is back to near 100%. So do we throw out the rusing stats when handicapping this game?..They certainly must be altered, but then is Denver’s rush defense for real and able to stop even the best running back in the league?
Neither of these teams perform well in their prospective roles on Monday night football. Denver as a road dog on Monday is only 3-9 SU and 5-7 ATS. San Diego as a home favorite on Monday is only 2-4 SU and 2-5 ATS. San Diego however has covered the spread the last 4 times these two have met. As for the total…Denver has played to 5 unders while the Chargers are 3-1 over..
So how do you figure this game…very tough for sure…Is Denver for real or is the record a little skewed as they won 3 of their games against teams the likes of Cleveland, Oakland and Cincinnati…They did however pull off upsets over Dallas and N. England, but then again both of those games were at home. With the exception of the Clevleland 27-6 win, their average margin of win is only 4.5 points per game beating Cincy by 5, Dallas by 7 and NE by 3.
So how I ask you again, how do you figure this game….? I do believe I have found a significant edge tonight, I have posted a 3 Diamond play on this game. You can get it for just $15.00 at: www.tonydiamondsports.com
