Could their be a team that is less thought of than Denver at 5-0? Even the oddsmakers are not giving them respect as they have only been favored twice this season (Cleveland and Oakland), but the Broncos have not minded as they have won them all straight up and against the spread. Offensively the Broncos have taken well to new Coach Daniels passing offense. Brandon Marshall and Kyle Orton looks like they have played together for 10 years and might be the best combo in football. The defense is where the huge improvement has happened from last years squad. This might be the best defense against the pass and against the run they really swarm to the ball.

The Chargers are off to a slow start for a third year in a row. A loss this week could make another playoff run a very longshot. Injuries have once again slowed down LT for the Chargers but the offense still has been able to put up consistent points.
