The Denver Broncos will host the troubled San Diego Chargers this weekend at Mile High Stadium.The San Diego Chargers aren’t the same team they were in the 06’ season. The Chargers released their head coach Marty Schottenheimer, after a 14-2 season, and picked up Norv Turner. The Chargers look confused under Turners command and they’ve lost three in a row. After the Kansas City Chiefs rallied for 24 unanswered points last week fans have had enough. The Chargers had four chances from the Chiefs 5 yard line and QB Phillip Rivers threw four straight incomplete passes. QB Rivers (21-42, 211YDS, 2INT, 1FUM, 0TD) gave up 17 points due to his interceptions and fumble. RB L.Tomlinson (262YDS, 2TD) was the best performer for the Chargers.

The Denver Broncos played a tough fought game last week against the Colts but couldn’t get a win. The Broncos were also dealt a blow with the injury to RB Travis Henry and WR Javon Walker. Results won’t be available until Wednesday. QB Jay Cutler matched the Colts almost point for point going into the second half. Denver’s offense racked up 354 yards, with 223 on the ground, for their best performance of the year. The Broncos defense allowed 226 yards rushing and must improve against RB L.Thompson. The Broncos are ranked 12th in rushing yards allowed.

Bottom Line: The Broncos did well against the Colts and a tough Jaguars team, but despite the losses Denver still looks good. QB Jay Cutler is averaging 227 pass yards while the Broncos rushing game is ranked 5th with an average 155 yards. The Chargers running game is averaging only 83 yards which will be tough against the Broncos defense.

We’ll have to wait and see if injuries will play a big factor in this game but I still like Denver’s chances at home.

I'm glad for Brett Farve who did not listen to the many individuals who thought he was washed up. The Packers are 4 and 0 to start off this NFL football season and will go 5 and 0 after this Sunday after the y beat the Bears. The Bears are not the team most people thought they were. Everyone knew they did not have a great offenses but most people thought they had a great defense. Well they don't. This year they lost Tank "Guns" Johnson and their defense ranks 15th in the league. Coupled with an offense that can't score, the Packers and their fans will have a field day with them. The Bears only offense is special teams and Devon Nestor

Brett Farve looks like he is 25 again and is reading defenses and making plays. At Lambeau Field the Bears are the most hated team in the league the resurgence of the Packers has put them on the NFL map. Many of the book still are not giving the Packers their due and a 3 point spread it a good spread on a team many odds makers are still doubtful about.

Bottom Line: Green Bay is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games and Green Bay is 5-0 ATS in its last 5 games. The Packers are 4-1 SU in its last 5 games at home and 19-6 SU in its last 25 games when playing Chicago.

Go for the Trifecta, take the Packers on the Spread, Money line and take the Under
