Our Los Angeles Chargers vs Denver Broncos Prediction
The Difference Maker: The Chargers’ offensive line is decimated coming into this divisional matchup with the Broncos. Los Angeles will miss the services of offensive tackle Joe Alt (neck) and left tackle Rashawn Slater (high-ankle sprain). This could leave quarterback Justin Herbert vulnerable to the Broncos’ aggressive pass-rushing unit led by Nik Bonitto and Zach Allen. Moreover, the Chargers will play without starting wideout Quentin Johnston (Chest), leaving quarterback Justin Herbert without his primary targets downfield.
What to Expect: The Broncos breeze through to a comfortable win over the Chargers. Denver should dominate the line of scrimmage with the Chargers missing key pieces of their offensive line. The Chargers were already struggling to score points this season, but with Justin Herbert missing several targets and line protectors, creating scoring plays will prove brutally hard for the Chargers QB.
Fearless Forecast: The Broncos 35, the Chargers 19
Our betting prediction for the Denver Broncos vs. the LA Chargers: The Broncos -3.0 points
