NFL Spread Betting – San Diego Hosts Denver Broncos Monday Night

It’s obvious that if the Denver Broncos are rolling they love running up the score in NFL betting. That might not be so easy when San Diego is turning them in to a one-dimensional team by doing the very same and putting Kyle Orton on his heels (or his back). A massive NFL spread betting line awaits you in this game, which is why it’s a good thing it’s so late in the season.

This is the time of year where we separate the men from the boys, and nobody epitomizes that better than the San Diego Chargers. Between 2007 and 2009, the Chargers went just 15-12 SU in the first ten weeks of the season. Their collective record during what we consider the “home stretch” (i.e. Weeks 11 thru 17) is 17-4 SU.

Maybe now you understand why the NFL spread betting line is so large. Still, Denver’s inspired performance last weekend should scare you. They racked up a dizzying 49 points while holding the Chiefs to 29 in a definitive romp. Perhaps the best bet in this game is to avoid NFL spread betting in this game and take the OVER. Both teams have pushed the total higher than expected in 7-of-10 games collectively over their past 5 games.

NFL Betting Line: San Diego -10.0 (50.5)

What might soothe your aches and worries is that Denver only plays well at home. They’ve averaged 19.0 points of offense in four road games this year, and are just 1-3 SU and ATS in NFL spread betting when travelling. Those aren’t good numbers, especially when San Diego has averaged just 21.9 points allowed overall this season.

The best thing to do in this game is to not over think it. Denver amounted a surreal lead last weekend against Kansas, and the Chiefs are not built to come from behind. Even if San Diego has that problem, they can erase it early and continue their mean streak in the home stretch of the season.

Norv Turner’s team historically get better with age within a season. I’ve gone over that point already. If you’re NFL spread betting and are scared of the number, then relax. San Diego can and will kill this team at home, coming off a bye week with the playoffs still in reasonable reach. This year more than any, they’ll need some luck but a matchup against Denver will be the least of their worries.

The oddsmakers have to make this an nauseating spread to encourage action on both sides. That sickly feeling you’re getting just means it’s actually a good number. Don’t shy away from San Diego in NFL spread betting this Monday night. You’ve been warned.
