Denver Broncos +4 vs. San Diego Chargers

The Broncos were absolutely dominated by the Packers on Sunday and are now at the bottom of the AFC West at 1-3.

QB Kyle Orton is starting to feel the Tim Tebow pressure, and suffering another loss might convince the coaching regime to make a move during the bye week.

Expect him to play his best game of the season against a Chargers team that is still very unproven.

Sure, the ‘Bolts are 3-1, but the teams they've beaten have one win combined. QB Phillip Rivers is not having the sort of season we have come to expect because of the absence of stud tight end Antonio Gates.

With the home field advantage and the fact these two teams know each other extremely well, expect it to be a three-point game when the final horn sounds.

Buffalo Bills +3 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

It’s not every day a 1-3 team is favored against a 3-1 team on the road, but that’s exactly what’s happening this week.

Vegas knows people are still in awe of the vast amount of talent on the Eagles, and the betting public assumes they’re going to be angry after blowing such a big lead.

Well, the Bills did the same thing, and they have a more balanced team. The Bills are sound in all three phases and take care of the ball—something the Eagles don’t know much about.

Expect the rejuvenated crowd to get momentum on the side of the Bills early. I believe Buffalo wins outright.

Atlanta Falcons +5.5 vs. Green Bay Packers

The Packers had a perfect week against the Broncos and are due for a letdown. We all remember the epic beat-down the Packers gave the Falcons in the playoffs last year, and that is great fuel for the Falcons.

You can bet the Falcons had this game circled on the schedule when it was released.

Factor that in with a strong home-field advantage and a defense that is beginning to play the run exceptionally well, and expect Atlanta to beat the Pack in a shootout.
