Monday Night Football FREE Pick

Yes, it's a big game from a betting standpoint since hordes of unscrupulous touts are trying eagerly to get you to believe they have either the "get even" lifesaver or a flat out lock winner. You'll find no such attitude here where we'll look at the game with a calm, realistic perspective.

Analysis: Does anyone know what is going on with the Denver Broncos? Some terrible games (like losing 41-3 at home to these same Chargers) and some unexpected wins. Numbers say San Diego has a slim edge in some looks, the Broncos get the cover in others. Chargers are in the playoffs so motivation is questionable. Our advice? It's Christmas Eve, you've got better things to do, so give this one a miss.

Favor: Pass
