NFL Week 11 Picks: San Diego Chargers Vs. Denver Broncos: Invesco Field at Mile High, Denver 4:15 PM EST Sunday November 22, 2009.

This Sunday in Mile High City the struggling Denver Broncos host the streaking San Diego Chargers. The Broncos have lost 3 in a row and the Chargers have won 4 in a row and now both teams are tied atop the AFC West. The winner of this game will be all alone in 1st place in the division. The Broncos’ defense has let them down in their 3 game slide and in their last game QB Kyle Orton hurt his ankle.

In their L(o)ast match, Broncos allowed the Redskins to dominate in terms of time of possession (35:43 to 24:17). The Broncos were favored by 3 points so they did not cover and the total of 36.5 was surpassed.

In their win over the Eagles the Chargers finally were able to run the ball, as they had 119 yards rushing while the Eagles only had 29. This season the Chargers have not been able to run the ball and QB Philip Rivers has had to do it all. However, in the win over the Eagles the LaDainian Tomlinson looked like the LT of old rushing for 96 yards. If the Chargers can run the ball against the Broncos they will be in good shape.

Denver with their losing streak and possible loss of their starting QB made them underdog for this match. Chargers’ rushing offense continues to play well they will not only win this game, but they have a legit shot to go far in the playoffs. The Chargers will keep rolling, as even though this game is in Denver they will win this game and take over 1st place in the AFC West.
