OUR PICK: The Broncos are a perfect 5-0 against the spread in their last five games in San Diego while the road team is 16-6-5 against the number in the last 27 meetings between these two teams. With Trevor Siemian expected to return to the starting lineup, the Broncos should be able to move the ball much more effectively than a week ago when rookie Paxton Lynch was constantly under siege by Atlanta's pass-rush. Denver's running game might not getting going against the league's 8th-ranked run defense, but Siemian should be able to attack San Diego's 27th-ranked pass defense assuming his offensive line plays better for him than it did Lynch.
