Line jumped from -5/-5.5 to -6.5/-7 at some places after Orton officially ruled out. I took -5 for Chargers right when the NFL Network came out officially that Orton was out.
Have you seen Simms play? Orton is worth that many points.
Denver D is terrible right now, stopping the run. That would concern me more than what Chris Simms might do. The Broncos do have the receivers to make it easy for any QB, to just throw to.
