00:00Mhm. Visional duel, which is an amazing game in the standings. The Denver Broncos

00:07and the Los Angeles Chargers effectively fighting for maybe the last

00:11playoff spot in the A. F. C. The Broncos will go on the road on a Thursday

00:15night, which we always know is tough. The Chargers were embarrassed last

00:18week by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Denver Broncos picked up a great win

00:22over the Colts, which was helped by a fumble on the goal line by Jonathan

00:27Taylor, which would have set them up talking about the Colts up by two

00:30touchdowns in the second half. The Broncos took advantage of it. They won.

00:34They come into this football game, Dubsy as the underdog, getting two and

00:37a half points on the road and a total of 42 and a half. So my question to

00:42you is here. Can the Denver Broncos continue their winning ways? Because,

00:45as I like to say, the Broncos are great at beating the teams they're supposed

00:49to. And what I mean by supposed to is they're the favorites. They're not the

00:53favorites in this game. They're on the road on a Thursday. They still have the

00:56rookie quarterback. What's your prognosis this week for tomorrow night's

00:59game between the Broncos and the Chargers? Yes, it's an exciting one.

01:04It's a fascinating one. You know, taking a look at the playoffs and how it

01:08would look if it were to start today. Chargers have got the eight wins.

01:12Broncos have got the nine. And you look at the Colts. They're sitting back

01:15there with six wins. So they lost a lot of stock with losing that game to the

01:19Denver Broncos. For Denver, I tell you what, they've really exceeded

01:23expectations. They had one of the lower win totals at the start. Five

01:28and a half, I believe, second only there to the Panthers. And they didn't

01:32look great against Cleveland two weeks ago. They didn't look fantastic against

01:36the Colt last week. But you look at that eventual scoreline, and they got

01:40the result. And for me, that tells us it's a well-coached team. We saw Bo

01:44Nix. He came up with a couple of turnovers. But what I liked about Bo

01:47Nix, and I guess the bounce back, is that they didn't take a backwards step.

01:51This kid just goes out there, and he's playing with so much confidence. When

01:54they need to get the run game more involved, we saw that, you know, I

01:58guess, influenced in the second half. And that took a bit of pressure off

02:01Bo. But I think it's a really good spot for the Chargers. A little

02:05disappointing from what we saw last weekend. I thought they were live going

02:09against the Bucs, but they were embarrassed there by Baker Mayfield. So

02:13I think the Chargers are going to be up against it in this one. You've got two

02:16of the smartest minds in the business there on the sidelines with Peyton and

02:20Harbaugh. And at plus 122, I think Bo Nix is going to be a lot better. And

02:24with that, I think it's going to be enough on the offensive side to take

02:28the Broncos all the way here. For the Chargers going against the likes of

02:32Sertain and Benito, who's been fantastic, this is going to be a very

02:36tough, tough turnaround playing here on Thursday Night Football. So I think

02:40the Broncos are live. And not to say it's a must win, but there is plenty of

02:44motivation with this being a divisional dance.

02:50Yeah.
