Good morning, everybody, the simple handicap for Tuesday, December 17th. Thank you for making me a part of your morning.

We're fully into NFL week number 16. And I got to tell you, there's a lot to talk about for NFL week

number 16 that we're going to get into and get you on your way with your first market rundown of this Tuesday morning.

Things kick off on Thursday night football yesterday during the live stream preview.

I promise I didn't miss the game on purpose.

It's the Saturday chunk in the rotation board that threw me off.

I skip completely over Denver on the road of the Chargers.

We're looking at the Chargers a three-point favorite with a total down from 43.5 to 442.

The reason that the total is moving down is all to do with Chargers injuries to this point.

Justin Herbert is expected to play.

It is anticipated by what we're hearing, by what we're seeing, that he has a high ankle

sprain that he is playing through.

It was re-aggravated in the game last week against Tampa Bay.

He is very banged up. It's got a very bad leg. We've seen the Chargers run game be non-existent.

Ladd McConkey is expected to be as healthy as he has been for this game in several weeks, but now

Quentin Johnston dealing with an injury as well that we are going to see come up more and more and be discussed more and more as today goes on. So it's a Chargers offense that's failing. It's a run game that is

non-existent. It's a very hurt quarterback. It is problems all over the offense for L.A.

It's a Broncos team last week that very much underwhelmed and was quite frankly very fortunate

to have that game in the second half play out as it did.

That was a horrible game from the Broncos offense that we saw last week.

That's why the total is coming down.

Lots of injury news this week.
