Well there is good news and there is bad news, the bad news is my prediction didn't do so well last week but since the Chargers won the good news is that my prediction didn't do so well last week. Click below to see what I came up with this week against the Broncos.

So far this season the Broncos have scored 18.6 points per game and allowed 16.8 points per game thus far.   The Broncos opponents have scored 20.4 points and allowed 19.6 points per game on average thus far.   If you compare these two sets of numbers you can see that the Broncos have scored 1 fewer point per game than the average and have allowed 3.6 points fewer per game than the average.
