Chargers open as favorites over Broncos in Week 16

The Los Angeles Chargers are looking to end the 2020 season on a strong note.

The Chargers snapped their divisional losing streak last weekend with their win over the Raiders, and are now looking to keep that momentum going with another AFC West battle against the Broncos.

Going into this weekend’s contest, Los Angeles is favored by 3.5 points over the Broncos in Week 16 of the regular season, per BetMGM.

Led by quarterback Justin Herbert, L.A. got past Las Vegas in overtime, as Herbert scored on 1-yard plunge to give them the victory, all after tying Browns’ Baker Mayfield for the most touchdowns thrown by a rookie in a single season (27).

Denver, on the other hand, got stomped on by Bills, as they allowed 48 points. Their rushing attack did all they could to keep up, but QB Josh Allen was too much to overcome.

Sunday’s matchup will begin at 1:05 p.m. PT and will be televised on CBS.
