Denver at San Diego Game Overview<br />

Denver was the last team in the AFC with a perfect start to the new season, but its four-game winning streak both straight-up and against the spread came to an end this past Sunday in a 23-16 loss to Atlanta as a 3.5-point home favorite. The total stayed UNDER 44.5 points in that game and it has now stayed UNDER in the Broncos’ last two games after going OVER in their first three outings this year.

The quarterback position was a big question mark for Denver heading into this season, but second-year signal caller Trevor Siemian has done a good job at filling that void when healthy. Rookie Paxton Lynch got the call against Atlanta and while he did complete 23-of-35 attempts for 223 yards and a score, he was also intercepted once and sacked six times. Siemian’s playing status for Thursday night is listed as day-to-day.

San Diego continues to slip down the standings in the AFC West with three-straight losses. It is now 1-4 SU with a 3-2 record ATS after covering as a 3.5-point road underdog in Sunday’s 34-31 loss to Oakland. The total went well OVER the closing 50.5-point line in that game and it has gone OVER in four of five games this season.

Head coach Mike McCoy can officially be considered on the hot seat following another game in which his team blew a late lead. Two weeks ago against New Orleans, he watched his team meltdown in a 35-34 loss as a 3.5-point favorite at home. One of the biggest problems has been turnovers and heading into this game the Chargers’ 11 giveaways are tied for the second-most in the league. Another issue is a defense that is ranked 27th in the NFL in points allowed (28.4).
