Denver have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. They will challenge the Chargers on the road at 4:05 p.m. on Sunday. Denver will be looking to avenge the 0-21 loss they took the last time these two teams played.

Denver were close but not close enough two weeks ago as they fell 17-19 to Houston. The match was as close as the oddsmakers predicted, but Denver had been the slight favorite coming in.

Meanwhile, the Chargers won their last match against Oakland, and it was the same story this time around. The Chargers walked away with a 20-6 victory over Oakland.

The Chargers's win lifted them to 7-2-1 while Denver's loss dropped them down to 3-6-1. Last Sunday the Chargers relied heavily on Melvin Gordon, who picked up 93 yards on the ground on 18 carries and caught 5 passes for 72 yards. It will be up to Denver's defense to limit his damage.
