00:00Broncos at Chargers. Chargers are three-point home favorites. It's a 42.5 over under. We

00:09saw the Chargers get absolutely stomped last week, or I should say yesterday, by the Bucs.

00:14We saw the Broncos come away with the win because the Colts are terrible, and Bo Nicks,

00:19despite playing awful with three interceptions, they come away with that win. So this game's

00:24all about the under. It really is. It really is all about the under, and the Chargers are

00:29a team that have played to the under this season. The Chargers are also a team that

00:31are having trouble moving the ball on offense since J.K. Dobbins has gone down. They have

00:36absolutely no running game with Gus Edwards and Khamani Vidal. That is not a spot that

00:40we want to be looking for production.

00:43Ladin McConkie is back for the Chargers, as we saw over the weekend, when he caught a

00:46touchdown. Yes, he is awesome, but outside of that, there's no other consistent pass

00:50catching option. We did see Stone Smart, their backup tight end, play a bit of a role yesterday

00:55because Will Disley was out. Will Disley be back on Thursday yet to be seen, and we

01:01absolutely do not want to be trusting Quinton Johnston or Josh Palmer for catches. So this

01:06game is all about the under, and when it comes to the Broncos side of things, this might

01:10be a spot where we see Courtland Sutton get fully involved in the offense, and again,

01:14this is an important game from a standings perspective as well.

01:18Right now, the Broncos are sitting in second place in the AFC West, not that it's an issue

01:24or a concern because the Chiefs are going to be winning that, but the Broncos are holding

01:27down the sixth seed overall, nine and five. The Chargers are holding down the seventh

01:31seed, eight and six. This is a crucial game for the West, the AFC West. That is not the

01:37NFC West as it's flashing right now, but this is a crucial game for the playoffs, and we

01:42could see one of these teams on the outside looking in. I'm expecting the Broncos to come

01:45away with the win, so I'll be on the Broncos. I'm also going to be on the under.
