Broncos vs Chargers Highlights Sports Week
The college football regular season wrapped things up this past weekend and the bowl games do not start until December 21, so when it comes to wagering on football all we have is the NFL unless you are a die-hard fan of the Army vs. Navy game. College basketball continues with the non-conference portion of its schedule, and the NBA rounds the quarter pole of its regular season. To get you ready for this week’s betting action here is an early look at a few game lines as provided by 5Dimes.
The 6-7 San Diego Chargers and the 11-2 Denver Broncos kick off Week 15 in the NFL this Thursday night in an AFC West tilt. The Chargers desperately need a win to stay in the AFC wild card race, while Denver is rapidly closing in on the No. 1 overall seed in the conference. The Broncos have been opened as 11.5-point home favorites over the Chargers with the total set at 54.5.
