NFL WEEK 13 Fixed Odds Betting Preview

The outcome of Denver @ San Diego will go along way to deciding the outcome of the AFC West. Victory for the Chargers would give them a two game lead with three games against teams with losing records to come. The Broncos are a game back at present, but crucially have beaten San Diego already this year. Victory for the visitors on Sunday would put them in poll position.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Before the season began, one of the least likely teams seen as play-off material were indeed San Diego Chargers. However, inspired play by QB Drew Brees, coupled with the running threat of LaDanian Tomlinson has seen one of the most one dimensional offences become one of the most balanced and this has been reflected in their scoring. San Diego are ranked second in points scored with an average of 29 points. Whatever deficiencies there are in the defence are being more than covered by this high-powered offence. As well as Brees and his targets have played, it should be noted the superb play of the offensive line has been a major reason for the points explosion. Trying to figure out Denver has not always been the easiest task this season. At times the Broncos have played like the play-off team most expect them to be, but at others have looked anything but postseason material.Quite how they managed to blow a two score lead at home to Oakland is somewhat of a mystery. There was also the hammering suffered at home to Atlanta in week 8, as well as the MNF loss in Cincinnati at a time when the Bengals were struggling badly.Based on the recent evidence, it would make sense to take San Diego Chargers on the handicap. They are at home, playing with great confidence and going up against an opponent that is too often finding ways to lose games they should be winning.
