AFC West Predictions: San Diego Chargers vs Denver Broncos

The 5-2 San Diego Chargers will travel on the road to face their AFC West rival the 5-1 Denver Broncos. The Broncos have the best record in the AFC and the winner of this game will have the best record in the AFC West. The Broncos are on a three-game winning streak after beating the San Francisco 49ers with ease 42-17 last week. A game where Broncos Quarterback Peyton Manning broke Brett Favre previous NFL record of 508 career passing touchdowns and Manning now has 510 career touchdown passes. Manning has passed for 1,848 yards, 19 touchdowns and 3 interceptions this season.

Chargers Quarterback Philip Rivers stats are similar to Manning’s with 1,961 yards, 17 touchdowns and 3 interceptions this season. The Chargers are 2-1 on the road this season and the Broncos are 4-0 at home. The Broncos and Chargers rivalry games are usually close competitive games with a lot of scoring and both Quarterbacks have been putting up impressive numbers this season. It’s always hard to win at Mile High Stadium and the way the Chargers have been playing this year; it might not be enough to prevent their first two-game losing streak of the season. The Broncos should win in a shootout and this game should be decided late in the 4th quarter.
