Broncos Prove Themselves Once Again in Win over Chargers
For all the Denver-haters out there (if there still are any), Monday Night Football betting featured a tough win on the road over the Chargers –a team that has dominated them over the past few years- should serve final notice that this Broncos squad is the real deal.
No team has exceeded expectations more this season than the over achieving Broncos and the most recent win in Monday Night Football betting to run the team’s record to a perfect 6-0 was further proof that rookie head coach and his staff know what they’re doing.
The final Monday Night Football odds score of 24-33 is indicative of just how wide the gulf is between these two AFC West teams and the final nail in the coffin containing the Chargers playoff hopes.
What’s most impressive about this Broncos squad is the way the defense has transformed from among the very worst in the league to the best this season. Allowing just 311 total yards to one of the most talented offenses in the league is an impressive feat. And as much press as the offense is getting and the commendable play of new QB Kyle Orton, the team’s D is the reason for its success.
Phil Rivers was held to just 238 yards passing thanks mainly to the 5 sacks (a collective 36 yards loss) perpetrated by the team’s rabid blitz. They also put the kybosh on LT’s grand return, holding him to 70 yards on 18 carries and making him look very pedestrian.
This Monday Night Football odds matchup confirmed two things that most people already knew but were afraid to admit: that the Broncos are the real deal and that the Chargers really are that bad.
