NFL Lines 2014, Week 8 Thursday Night

San Diego +9 at Denver

There’s always a danger in going against Peyton Manning, at home, in a night game. Witness last week’s unpacking of San Francisco. There’s also a chance Phillip Rivers reverts to Philip Rivers. But this line started at Denver -7.5, which I thought was fair, and moved 1.5 points. Here’s hoping we have the second close Thursday night game of the year.
