After opening at San Diego -6, the line for this weekends Broncos - Chargers match-up in Denver has fallen to San Diego -4. This game is a classic NFL road favorite situation, where a large amount of the money coming in from the public is firmly behind the road team.

Although over 85 percent of public money has been on San Diego since the line was released, the spread has actually moved in the opposite direction, meaning the professional bettors, are placing their money (usually in much larger amounts) on Denver.

The Broncos have struggled this season, but the team is beginning to get healthy and the passing game showed signs of life last week in Green Bay. The Chargers, on the other hand, are without tight end Antonio Gates and it looks as though wide receiver Vincent Jackson could miss some time as well.
