Latest Odds : LAC -1.5 Total 42.5
Denver is coming off of a stunning loss to the Giants in what was a game the Broncos were supposed to be able to win. The Broncos have been a decent team all around this year as they have been able to score a total of 21 points a game, but the defense for the Broncos is giving up 19 points a game.
The Broncos running attack needs to get started as the Broncos are led in the rushing by C.J. Anderson who has carried the ball 82 times for 347 yards and only a single touchdown in the game.
The Chargers are going to have a good leg up here because they were able to actually beat the Giants in the last game they played against each other. The same Giants team that seemingly managed to control the Broncos in the last game and that could easily help the Chargers in getting the wins they need to have.
Philip Rivers is the player who has led the Chargers weak offense. Rivers has been able to throw for a total of 1633 yards on the year and 10 touchdowns this season.

Free Betting Pick: LA Chargers -1.5
Hard to have any faith in this Broncos team after Denver's terrible loss at home to previous winless Giants. Losing is one thing but the struggling offense showed little ability to move the ball - nothing changes on road against talented Chargers defense. Final Score Prediction, Los Angeles Chargers win and cover ATS 23-13.
