Before the wild-card weekend , the San Diego Chargers were the biggest longshots to win the Super Bowl of the playoff team . They entered their Sunday game with the Cincinnati Bengals as seven-point underdogs , getting barely arrived at the postseason as the No .6 seed . With the divisional round , approaching , though , the team stays alive , and trying to keep on their run against the Denver Broncos when the two teams meet at Sports Authority Field at Mile High .

San Diego pulled off the biggest surprise of the first round by easily beating the Bengals , 27-10 . The Chargers won in Cincinnati , that has been something no road team were capable of doing in the 2013 regular season .

A victory for the Chargers on Sunday can be an even better upset than their wild-card win . They are getting 9 .5 points at most of the Las Vegas casinos , and that is more points than any underdog in the first fourteen days of the playoffs .

But , the Chargers have not only confirmed that they could beat the Broncos , but they’ve shown that they could do it in Denver . After losing the first head-to-head matchup between the two teams by eight points , they beat the Broncos 27-20 on "Thursday Night Football" in Week 15 . The Chargers held Peyton Manning to his third-lowest passing total of the season .

The Chargers went 9-7 during the regular season , they excelled against elite competition , going 6-3 against teams with an effective record . Not just did San Diego grab a win in Denver , they also beat the Philadelphia Eagles , Indianapolis Colts and Kansas City Chiefs . They had their most difficulty with last-place teams like the Houston Texans , Oakland Raiders , and Washington Redskins . If San Diego’s biggest issue was rising to the level of their enemy , they might have an opportunity to make a run in the AFC .

A year ago , the Broncos were in the exact same position . They typed in the playoffs as the No .1 seed in the AFC and were set to have home-field benefit during the playoffs . At their home , they managed to lose to the Baltimore Ravens and get eliminated in their first postseason game .

"You don't harp on the first-time you fell off your bike , however you remember sliding off so you know you don't want to do it once again ," tight end Julius Thomas said . "So , it's never that we're worrying about the Ravens or even if it's about the Ravens . It can happen to be any team that we lost to . But we have a new reminder of if you don't end up and play your `A' game in this tournament , you're gonna lose ."

No matter how well the Chargers are playing , it won’t be simple for them to decrease Manning . The quarterback set several records in the regular season , and though San Diego included him greater than most , he still set up big numbers . Against the Chargers , Manning threw for six touchdowns along with a interception .

He struggled sometimes in the Dec . 12 loss , but the veteran quarterback was without Wes Welker , certainly one of his favorite targets . The wide receiver has since recovered from his concussion and will be ready on Sunday . The likes of Welker , Eric Decker and Demaryius Thomas might be in for a large day against the No .29 pass defense in the NFL .

While Philip Rivers didn’t play like Manning in 2013 , he was still the most impressive quarterbacks in the league . He finished the season ranked fourth with a 105 .5 passer rating . Only three other quarterbacks threw more touchdown passes then him , and his 69 .5 completion percentage was No .1 in football .

The contest features two of the most excellent offenses in the NFL . Denver set records by scoring 37 .9 points per game , and San Diego ranked fifth in sum yards . Because of this , the over/under of 54 .5 is the highest of the playoffs.
