Denver over 11-2 by an average of 13.3 points per game, which is bar far the highest in the NFL. Yes a rare under was to San Diego. But Chargers rookie head coach Mike McCoy did the 1980s keep away strategy and it did not work. In fact, the game still flirted with the total. I do not think the rookie coach tries the same failed strategy.

We also believe based on all the crap about Peyton Manning and cold weather, Denver will want to make a big statement about their offense in cold weather, especially with their realistic goal of hosting two playoff games or the less desirable option of possibly playing the AFC Championship in New England.

Manning is also five TD passes from the regular season record and breaking it as soon as possible eliminates that distraction, albeit a positive one.

San Diego has firepower and I think the keep away tactic will be thrown in the trash.
