Denver Broncos @ San Diego Chargers (-3.5)<\/strong> The Chargers have a major opportunity to make a statement tonight after playing inconsistently through their first four games. They looked solid enough in wins over weaker teams like Oakland and Miami but couldn\u2019t keep pace with Baltimore or Pittsburgh. The Chargers need to prove they can hang with elite teams if they want to stay in the playoff picture.<\/p>\n Throwing the ball is just about the only thing San Diego does well so far this season. However, to say San Diego can\u2019t run the ball is a huge understatement. The Chargers average just 53.8 rushing yards per game, easily the NFL\u2019s lowest mark. Tomlinson is as good as done as a featured back \u2013 if he was a horse, he\u2019d be retired from the racebook and off to the glue factory. Sproles is explosive but the Chargers have no strong between-the-tackles runner anymore. Against the Broncos\u2019 fourth-ranked run defense, it\u2019s hard to imagine the Chargers\u2019 problem disappearing tonight.<\/p>\n While the Chargers may have trouble moving the ball on the Broncos tonight, the reverse may not be true. Denver averages 139 rushing yards per game, sixth-most in the league. Knowshon Moreno is sliding into starting duty gradually and effectively; chances are he can gash the Chargers\u2019 run \u201cstopping\u201d unit, which allows 151 yards per game.<\/p>\n San Diego defends the pass reasonably enough but it may not matter; even if Kyle Orton doesn\u2019t find Brandon Marshall for a big play (but he will), Denver\u2019s running game and stingy defense will combine to top San Diego. Rivers is a great quarterback but the Broncos held Tony Romo and Tom Brady to 255 and 215 yards, respectively, in Weeks 4 and 5. They can handle Rivers too.<\/p>\n Believe it or not, these Broncos are the real deal.

\nTonight, 8:35 p.m. ET<\/p>\n While I expect a great game \u2013 even a classic \u2013 I don\u2019t expect Favre and the Packers to come out on top. The LaDainian Tomlinson era is over; this is Phillip Rivers\u2019 team and he\u2019s flourishing as the offensive focal point. He spreads the ball around, hitting big targets like Antonio Gates and Vincent Jackson while also making good use of pass-catching backs like Darren Sproles. It\u2019s thus no surprise that the Chargers average 295.5 passing yards per game, good for third in the NFL.<\/p>\n
