Denver (-4) @ San Diego (12-13-15)

4:05 EST - Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon on CBS...Weather: (Seriously?)  Its San Diego  Low 70s and sunny...over-under 43.5

Denver QB Brock Osweiler (57 of 93, 66 yards, 4 TDs, 2 INTs) has been sacked 11 times...WR Demariyus Thomas (72 for 911 yards) and Emmanuel Sanders (52 catches for 752 yards) should benefit from now playing in a snowstorm. Broncos defense allows 4.7 yards per play and 285 yards per game, No,.1 in the NFL but they go without starting safety TJ Ward, starting DT Sylvester Williams and starting OLB/DE DeMarcus Ware

San Diego QB Phillip RIvers (317 of 463 yards, 23 TDs and 8 INTs) has thrown for 3,511 yards, No. 2 in the NFL....and he may get either injured offensive tackle King Dunlap or DJ Fluker back in front of him..  SD defense allows 377 yards per game and 6,.5 per play..SD offense averages 308 yards passing and 23 first downs per game. Chargers home field advantage may be missing. Reportedly lots and lots of Denver fans will be there and will be noisy.

I don't see how the 'over-under' here is 43,5. . Chargers cant run...(899 yards all year) they have to throw all day in perfect conditions..Denver is shorthanded on 'D' but .has all their offensive skill players...The school of thought must be that Denver will play conservatively and will dominate Rivers...and that both teams will relax and enjoy the sunshine. That's a school I would not send my kids to because it seems like a dumb school..

Broncos will want to re-establish Thomas with Brock and SD will move the ball as the Bronco rush wont be what it has been.

. If I could get 6, I'd take SD...but the 'over' here seems VERY likely....

Even if Brock wins this game, nobody will convince me that Peyton shouldn't play when he gets healthy.

If being healthy means Manning can play better than Brock, sure Peyton should start.

Manning hasn't played "healthy" for around 16 total games. If he comes back and still prone to repeatedly putting the other team back in the game then Brock should start.

Manning unquestionably has better clock management than Brock. Everything else, to this point this year, is in Brock's favor.

again..that's not actually true.

    • Ignoring anything to do with accuracy, level of play, etc., just based on his injury history through 8 games, it's highly unlikely he will be our QB in a few years.  It's a catch 22 with him.  If you don't utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to win with him.  If you do utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to keep him on the field.  I've come to the conclusion that his size is not necessarily a benefit.  The collisions are harder.  He goes to the ground harder.  You don't see some of the gentle drops and rolls you see with Lamar Jackson.     The fact that he's also tied to a front office that might be counting their days doesn't help either.  
    • Id say avoid drafting or taking players from your team that you’re a fan of. I’m an avid fantasy guy and also a sports bettor. I literally will avoid taking any Colts players In fantasy and also during the week in fantasy football I avoid taking the props of the players I’m playing against. I never want to wish bad on anyone so for that very reason I avoid those guys. For me personally it has helped tremendously, I can still enjoy the game without bias. 
    • I will just say this about the comparisons between Luck and AR.  And even Manning.   First, as far as overall talent?  I think AR has more talent than Andrew.  And I say that as the biggest Luck fan that there is.  I loved that guy.  But he always reminded me of a Manning wannabe.  Someone who had more pure talent.  Who was very smart.  But I never ever got the feeling that he wanted to win and put in the hours that Manning did.  And I think that was proven when he retired so early.  Manning was like an AI robot who studied 23 hours a day.  Just a huge will to win.    But what Luck had was pain tolerance, drive and overall ability due to his teaching since he was a kid...and his will to do what is right for the team.    IMO that was 100% MORE than AR's is right now.  Not even close.    If only you could clone a combo between Manning and his smarts, Luck and his pain tolerance, and AR and his pure athletic ability.    I am sorry but unless AR is the unluckiest person in the history of the NFL, NO ONE gets hurt this much.  He is a wreck.  Heck I remember in his first pre season game last year he ran out of bounds and started to limp.  Literally his very first hit ever.  Right then I said to myself "uh oh".  And then he has not finished what......4 of his all time starts?  Out of 8?  I mean....that is not normal QB behavior.  He seems to get hurt on almost every hit he takes.    Make that make sense.    It is very VERY odd to say the least.   I want AR to do well because he seems like a good guy and he has all the talent in the world  But after this last game and his words after? For lack of a better word I don't think he has any ability at all to do 2 things.     One....protect himself.   Two.....take a hit and feel pain without it being the end of the world.  He seems to have no pain tolerance whatsoever.  Which is fine.  Just don't be an NFL Qb as a result. 
    • I'm not creating anything.  Till AR can stay on the field it's Flacco that has to be tough. 
    • I understand that but till AR shows he can stay on the field, Flacco has to be the man. It's that simple.
