Broncos vs Chargers Prediction

Denver is my choice on the spread at +2.5. I expect the Denver rushing attack to take advantage of the Los Angeles defense, which struggled to defend the run in their recent game. Don’t miss out on Denver at +2.5.

Not only does our model have a projected total of 45 points in this matchup, but the eye test has me feeling this line of 43 is low. I like the Broncos and Chargers to exceed 43 points.
