NFL Week 12 Picks: Tim Tebow Will Dominate Chargers' Weak Pass Defense

Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow has been a success in the rushing game in his five starts this season, but the young star will dominate a weak San Diego Chargers pass defense for a huge win in Week 12.

The Chargers have given up the most passing touchdowns this season (19), and almost allowed Tebow to beat them with a thrilling fourth-quarter comeback in Week 5.

San Diego is also in the bottom half of the league with only 19 sacks. Tebow should have enough time to sit in the pocket and find the open receiver.

When Tebow is not passing the ball, he will find open running lanes in the Chargers defense. San Diego allows 124.4 rushing yards per game, and having to defend a quarterback who can run the ball well will cause problems for them.

Tebow has ran the ball 40 times for 292 yards and four touchdowns during the last four games. His size and strength makes him quite difficult to defend, and even linebackers struggle to bring him down to the ground.

Tebow's effectiveness in the running game will allow the Broncos to control the clock and dominate possession of the football.

In their current three-game winning streak, the Denver defense has allowed only 15.7 points per game. Lost in all the Tebow mania, has been the spectacular player of the Broncos defense. 

Rookie linebacker Von Miller has played fantastic this season, and leads all NFL players with 9.5 sacks.

Since their Week 5 win against the Broncos, the Chargers have lost five games and are 4-6 on the season. 

Quarterback Philip Rivers has struggled this season and has thrown 15 touchdowns with 17 interceptions already.

Tebow and the Broncos will dominate the Chargers' weak pass defense and earn a crucial win to remain in the AFC West division race.
