Early line has San Diego 9 point favorites for Sunday night

[montrose]

At Sportsbook. BetUs has San Diego by 8.5.

[broncofan2438]

By the end of the week it should be like 20

[MileHighMagic]

Wow! I called it. I said nine after our game.

I don't see how anyone would take the points in this one. As lousy as the Bolts' pass defense is, their crowd and us being one dimensional--there is just no way.

Hopefully, you'll be losing some cash...

The networks have to know we're going to get killed. I guess they just want everyone to see how much we suck and feel good about their SD super bowl pick.

Good call...PS--who is THAT is your avatar?

This can only play to the broncos advantage. it puts the pressure back on San Diego (who would have thought that). Denver usually plays well when their backs are against the wall. Don't think we'll win, but this does help.

[fido]

one thought comes to mind here.....corey dillon.....9 is way too low

Keeley Hazell

I think the dog has covered in damn near all of our games but this one just has blowout written all over it.

Hopefully Norv gives LT more touches than Sproles. The little guy is a better back at this point.

I sometimes have difficulty unravelling the inanity of sports cliche's, but if your back is against the wall isn't the pressure on YOU? Certainly a cornered mountain lion feels pressure.

I sat at a blackjack table in Vegas once with a guy who was betting like a madman. All over the place. We got to talking and he found out that I'm a Broncos fan. When he found this out, he told me that he named his boat "Plus 11".

I'll put my money on Denver, and I hope that you posers lose your rent money.

Pu$$ies.

Who said we are betting against them, tough guy? I have been handicapping for years and am mostly a dog player but this one aint barking. We have zero momentum, we are going into a very hostile environment, we have the worst defense in the league, and we are one dimensional offensively. I hope to God we get the win but you have to be realistic when you wager.

No, the cliche means if your back is against the wall, you throw the kitchen sink to get out of it because you have nothing to lose. At least thats the way i interpret it.

Bronco fans know we are going to get killed, so the networks aren't reporting anything new!!!

wouldn't this broncos collapse be like the mets collapse in baseball? football has fewer games so the trainwreck is a little compressed, but I gotta imagine the mets felt pressure as they went inexorably down.

[Tom H.]

Broncos are......geeez....bloody awful. They'll never win another game in their franchise future. May as well have them stuffed with the Lions. Crap-a-million.

But really, they just might win this one.

[go_broncos]

9 is too low..

We will lose by more than 2 TD's.

Don't respond to this 'donks' fan.......and he obviously doesn't understand gambling either.

I can still be wrong about us not making playoffs. If any team could choke something away it's the Chargers. It doesn't look good though you are right about that. For Cutler this is the type of thing that if he loses he really becomes Phillip Rivers b****. Because of that I think we will see a fired up Cutler that won't miss wide open WR for tds 3 times. If he does miss again, throw int, etc then really he has only himself to blame.

So many Broncos fans gone gutless.

Pity.

I think its a different situation, as the mets were favored from the outset to win. They were a team with bloated payroll that began to underachieve. In this case, the Chargers were the good team that underacheived. The hurt, young broncos were never supposed to be here in the first place. With that, the fact that they are at home, the fact that they've b****ed about the hoch call, combined with the fact they are huge favorites...i honestly dont think the pressure is on the broncos AS MUCH as it is SD.

This is the ONLY thing the Broncos have going for them this week. They are playing the only team in the league who can match them in the choke department.

There are millions of fans of about two dozen other franchises who would beg to differ. Just look at the Jets right now... (for one)

This was my first clue:

Nice. That's a cheap line. I am going to put some cash on the chargers. It aint personal, itz bizness

Rivalry game, on the road (the only place the Broncos have won seemingly), against a team that needed a string of miracles to beat the worst team in the division and is still under .500 overall. The Donks beat the Jets on the road after they had run off 5 in a row and the Chargers' defense still sucks.

Give me Jay and the boys.

Maybe there's a bit of homerism talking here, but how can I help it when I am surrounded by the defeatism of a slapnuts like broncofan7 or that abortion of a "fan" broncofan2438?

Seriously, why don't you quitters put on your Fouts jerseys and follow the Chargers trolls out of town?
