Might be weird to say, especially heading into this season, but the Broncos are damn glad to have Trevor Siemian back as their starting QB this week (most likely). Rookie Paxton Lynch simply isn’t ready in the big leagues just yet.
Chargers have found just about any way there is in the book to blow big 4Q leads this year, it’s just one of those jinxed year for them, considering that they had 1 in 30 million chance of sitting on their current 1-4 record.
Current odds:
Line: Broncos -3
Total: 45.5
