The focus will be on Manning and his return under center, but the real concern is the Denver run defense. The Broncos are ranked at No. 21 against the run and they are off a game where they allowed the Patriots to put up 251 yards on the ground. The Broncos also struggle getting turnovers as they are tied for 28th in the NFL with a minus-6 turnover differential.
The Chargers have dominated this series of late winning 9 of the last 12 but that was without Manning under center.
Philip Rivers will lead his team to the game and he has excelled under the Monday Night lights. Rivers is great in prime-time, compiling a 7-3 mark with 17 touchdowns and a sweet 105.2 passer rating in those games. He’s 9-3 against Denver, completing 64.4 percent of his passes and throwing 20 touchdowns — his most versus any team.
Manning has lost five of the last six games he’s played against the Chargers since 2005 and it would seem like the Chargers have the edge on defense against Manning. The Broncos are 1-5 ATS when playing a team with a winning record, 0-4 ATS in the last four games on the road and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games overall.
The Chargers are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 against the AFC and 7-3 ATS in the last ten games overall.
The Broncos are 2-8-2 ATS in their last 12 meetings and they lose a close one as the Chargers win on Monday night.
Denver Broncos vs San Diego Chargers: Chargers -1
