GAME OF THE WEEK
San Diego Chargers at Denver Broncos
This week's Thursday night game is once again the game of the week, proving more that the Thursday Night Football games are truly getting better. The Denver Broncos are featured in the Game of the Week for the second game in a row. Both teams gotten the better of some NFC West teams (and seen the other side of the stick), but even more impressively going in to 8 weeks into the season both the Chargers and Broncos have only a combined three losses between them. Last week, Peyton Manning broke the passing touchdown record previously owned by Brett Favre. This week Manning and the third ranked passing offense face the third ranked passing defense though. The Broncos will need to find ways beyond their passing game which means more from the running game that is ranked 25th and Ronnie Hillman. A Chargers win will mean a huge advantage for them heading into the second part of the season as both are front-runners for the AFC West title. Philip Rivers is on a roll and about to break 2,000 yards for the season. Even though this game is in Denver, don't be surprised to see an upset.
Chargers 34, Broncos 31
DOG OF THE WEEK
Minnesota Vikings at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Like the Denver Broncos (for Game of the Week), the Minnesota Vikings find themselves again in the Dog of the Week. Last week, the Vikings played the Bills, but now they face a much more beatable Buccaneers team. Teddy Bridgewater knows this, and sees it as a perfect time to capitalize on his skill. The Buccaneers have had quite the disappointing season. With only one win, many are already questioning Lovie Smith's ability to coach this team. These are the games a coach with his resume needs to win.
Buccaneers 21, Vikings 10
