00:02 And let's give the Broncos credit.
00:04 I mean, they've jumped back into the playoff picture.
00:07 They were one pass away, essentially, last week against Houston.
00:11 From winning that game too, Russell Wilson had some troubles in the red zone.
00:15 Look, the Chargers, I haven't changed my opinion on them.
00:18 I just generally, Vinny, will never back them as a favorite.
00:22 Like, I just will not do it.
00:23 I know last week actually did work out.
00:26 I gotta tell you though, there was a play last week.
00:28 I don't know if you saw the game between the Chargers and Patriots,
00:30 where the Patriots had like an easy field goal with a lot of time left.
00:33 They would have kicked the field goal, covered 6-3 final.
00:35 They chose not to do it.
00:37 Chargers two and a half point favorites this week, with a total of 43 and a half.
00:42 So there's a vote of no confidence on the Chargers.
00:44 It's basically a pick 'em game cuz they're home.
00:47 Is Denver the better team between these two?
00:50 >> I think right now, the way they're constructed, yes.
00:53 I mean, the Broncos are playing better defense.
00:56 The Broncos' biggest issue covering the tight end defensively,
00:59 as well as running backs.
01:00 And I don't know if the Chargers can get their running game going.
01:03 Austin Eckler has been kind of non-existent for multiple weeks.
01:07 I think this is an opportunity for him to get going.
01:09 But we also know the Chargers' secondary has been really bad.
01:12 And Russ Wilson's playing a lot better.
01:14 If he'd protected the ball last week,
01:16 it was unusual to have three interceptions in that game.
01:19 I think they win, and they beat the team.
01:21 So when you look at it, look, the Chargers are a short-handed team.
01:24 We'll see if they get Josh Palmer back to help.
01:26 But Justin Herbert doesn't have a lot right now working for him beyond key.
01:30 Now, I think this is a chance for all the Broncos' weapons to get going.
01:34 I think it's a good matchup for them where they avoid their weaknesses being
01:37 exploited as much defensively in this game.
