Denver Broncos vs LA Chargers Prediction

I’m staying with the Broncos. Denver has a winning record in five games thanks to some rough play. However, in their last win, the Broncos mustered just 289 yards of offense (180 passes), 18 first downs and 3 of 12 on third-down attempts – not to mention nine penalties. Denver’s defense had three interceptions on the other side, and the Raiders’ eleven penalties didn’t hurt either.

As for the Chargers, they were cold after the first quarter in their recent loss to the Chiefs. LA ended up totaling just 224 yards (169 passes), 4.2 yards per play, 12 first downs and nine penalties in a pretty tough effort. However, the Chargers had a little more time to rest and prepare for this game, so I guess they’ll be competitive here. However, I don’t think LA will fully cover that.
