ESPN says Broncos QB Kyle Orton will be a game-time decision but the Denver Post said on Saturday that it would take an “overnight medical miracle” for Orton’s ankle to be game ready.

That means bettors should expect to see Chris Simms under center against the San Diego Chargers. Simms looked awful last week in relief but he did play well in the preseason.

The Broncos are 5.5 home dogs with the total set at 41.5.

The New York Giants will try and break their four-game losing streak and they’ll have to do it without Antonio Pierce. The middle linebacker is out indefinitely because of a bulging disc in his neck.

The Giants' defense has been playing shorthanded all season but this could be the biggest blow yet. Pierce is the unquestioned leader of the stopper unit and will be missed against the Atlanta Falcons today.

The Falcons will be down their best rushing weapon against the G-Men. Michael Turner will not play and Jerious Norwood is questionable even though he did practice on Friday. Jason Snelling should get the majority of the carries.

NYG is 7-point home fave against the Falcons today. The total is set at 46.

Another NFC East club will be missing a key defensive player on Sunday. The Washington Redskins say that All-Pro defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth is unlikely to play against the Dallas Cowboys due to a sore ankle.

The Skins are getting 11 points today with the total sitting at 41.5.
