Shelby Manning

If the Broncos have any hope of salvaging their season, this matchup is a must win.

While the Chargers are banged up, Phillip Rivers can never be counted out and the Chargers boast a nasty defense.

Add the return of Melvin Gordon to the mix-up, and this looks to be a rough day for the Broncos as the plummet continues. My pick:

Chargers 35, Broncos 7

Ty Walden

The Denver Broncos take on the Los Angeles Chargers in a key AFC West tilt. At 0-4, there is very little optimism for the Broncos. After only four games in, fans are calling for fire sales, trades, and whatever else. I, for one, am truly ashamed to hear this.

As for the game at hand, the Los Angeles Chargers have not swept the season series against the Denver Broncos since 2010. Even without Peyton Manning, the Broncos find a way to win a game against the Bolts.

I just do not see the Broncos starting the year 0-5. That would put them on the wrong side of history for the first time ever. A win against a team like the Chargers would be huge going home to face the Titans.

I think Rivers makes some key mistakes and the Broncos win a close one. This time, they do not give their opponent a chance to steal the game away.

The Broncos have to get out of this losing streak at some point.

They have been so close a couple of times already, but with the Chargers so banged up and a couple of key pieces coming back for the Broncos this week (Kareem Jackson, Joe Jones), I think we’ll see Denver make just enough plays to get a win at their home away from home in Los Angeles.

Hopefully this is the week the Broncos end their current eight-game losing streak, dating back to the final four games of last season. They beat the Chargers in Los Angeles last year, maybe they can do it again.
