Denver Broncos vs Los Angeles Chargers Prediction
The Chargers are going to get the love from oddsmakers at home, and they’re the sexier team with the high-powered offense. However, I see value in the Broncos in the underdog role given they have one of the best defenses in the league, and they should be eager to rebound from a tough loss to the Colts. The Chargers have less time to prepare for this game, and they’re banged up on defense, with Denzel Perryman and Khalil Mack on the injury report. Four of the last 10 games between the Chargers and Broncos have been decided by 3 or fewer points. I want the points with the Broncos in a game they could win outright.
