Betting tip and prediction: Denver Broncos – Los Angeles Chargers (13.10.2024)
The Denver Broncos are one of the hottest teams in the league at this moment, winning the last three games. Last week, they defeated the Las Vegas Raiders after eight consecutive losses, meaning that they lost every game since the Raiders moved to Vegas. They waited for this win for a while and scored 34 points, their highest output in a game since December 2021. The Chargers are in a completely different situation, losing the last two, and Denver does not look like the team they can recover against. The Chargers scored a total of 16 points in a pair of defeats against the Broncos. Denver is very solid on the defensive end this year, as they have allowed 11.8 points per game since a Week 1 loss to the Seahawks and are tied for second place in the NFL in scoring defense. Both quarterbacks have a lot to prove in this game. Chargers Justin Herbert played through a high ankle sprain in consecutive losses, and reports say that he has fully recovered. Broncos’ Bo Nix has been struggling as he averages 168.3 passing yards per game, 30th in the NFL. Regardless, the Broncos have the momentum, the home court advantage, and, at the end of the day, a better team than the Chargers, so we go with them to win this one.
