NFL Picks And Predictions Week 12: Broncos Vs. Chargers

Most experts are looking toward the San Diego Chargers to defeat the Denver Broncos this Sunday. Tim Tebow will have something to say about that.

Will the Denver Broncos be able to end the four-game losing streak they have against the San Diego Chargers on Sunday? Probably not, as many experts are predicting the San Diego Chargers to win the game. Over at ESPN, eight of 10 prognosticators have chosen the Chargers to win the game. The two who didn't are Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter, which obviously means that Merril Hoge is still no fan of Tim Tebow. Last week, only one person on ESPN correctly chose the Broncos to defeat the Jets, so this could be another upset week for the Broncos.

CBSSports.com’s panel of five experts are a bit more evenly with three favoring the Chargers. But that is just in straight pick ‘em prediction. When the panel picks against the spread, the numbers turn 3-2 in favor of the Broncos.

Tebow Time goes up against the a Chargers team looking to end a five-game losing streak. Most experts like the Chargers, but with Tebow in the equation nothing can ever by sure.
