Broncos-Chargers Week 6 TNF Pick

The Broncos head to San Diego on a short week to take on the 1-4 Chargers on Thursday Night Football. Denver comes in at 4-1 after last week's loss at home to the Falcons. The Chargers lost another brutal game at Oakland when their holder botched the ball on a potential tying field goal with only a few minutes left. This game will be tough for Denver for the following reasons:

-Gary Kubiak is not coaching this week due to the complex migraine issue he had on Sunday. Joe DeCamilis will take his place as interim HC. That is certainly not an ideal situation especially in a short week.

-The Broncos have to travel to San Diego on a short week and don't get the luxury of hosting the game.

-The Broncos have won five straight games at San Diego. You know they are due for a loss in this building.

-The Chargers are due for a win because although they are 1-4, they have been in every game this year. You could see them breaking out and getting the win this week.

-This will not be an easy game for the Broncos and I expect them to have a tough time putting the Chargers away considering the fact that Phillip Rivers is playing at a high level once again.

SAN DIEGO (+3) over Denver
Final Score: Chargers-27 Broncos-17
