Javonte Williams who's out for this game leads the team with 204 rushing yards in 47 carries while Courtland Sutton has 29 receptions and 417 receiving yards and 1 touchdown.
Defensively, the team rank #5 in the NFL allowing an average of 17 points per game and haven’t allowed more than 200 net yards passing in a game this season. OLB Bradley Chubb has 5½ sacks and is the only player in the league with five or more sacks and a pair of forced fumbles in 2022.
BETTING TRENDS
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Denver's last 5 games.
Denver are 2-7 SU in their last 9 games.
Denver are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games against LA Chargers.
Denver are 12-5 SU in their last 17 games against LA Chargers.
The total has gone UNDER in 6 of LA Chargers' last 9 games against Denver.
The total has gone OVER in 5 of LA Chargers' last 6 games at home.
The total has gone UNDER in 8 of LA Chargers' last 9 games when playing at home against Denver
Prediction
The Broncos have struggled offensively scoring an average of 15 points per game and they'll be missing their leading running back in Javonte Williams after he suffered a season-ending ACL and LCL tear in his right knee. The Chargers have played good offense in their last 2 games scoring over 30 points per game but have struggled defensively but with the Broncos playing awful I think the Chargers should win and cover the spread.
PICK: Chargers -4.5 (-110)
