LA Chargers at Denver Broncos odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s LA Chargers at Denver Broncos odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Denver Broncos (3-2) welcome the LA Chargers (2-2) to Empower Field at Mile High Sunday. Kickoff is set for 4:05 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Chargers vs. Broncos odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Chargers won their first 2 games of the season, beating the Las Vegas Raiders 22-10 at home Sept. 8 and the Carolina Panthers 26-3 on the road Sept. 15. They followed those up with back-to-back losses. They lost 20-10 on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers Sept. 22 and 17-10 at home against the Kansas City Chiefs Sept. 29. LA failed to cover as a 6.5-point underdog in its Week 4 battle before its Week 5 bye. It is 2-2 against the spread (ATS) and 0-4 O/U.

The Broncos lost their first 2 games, but have rallied off 3 straight wins. In Week 3, they beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 26-7. They then beat the New York Jets 10-9 Sept. 29 and the Raiders 34-18 Oct. 6. Denver is led by coach Sean Payton and is captained by QB Bo Nix, who has struggled as a passer this season with 4 INTs and just 6 total TDs. The Broncos have allowed 18 or fewer points in 4 straight games and just single digits in 2 of the 4.

Chargers at Broncos picks and predictions

Prediction

Chargers 17, Broncos 10

Moneyline

PASS.

There’s no reason to play the moneyline here unless one believes the Broncos will keep their winning ways up. Considering that seems doubtful, the preferred route is to pass on the Chargers’ moneyline and to play them on the spread.

Against the spread

BET CHARGERS -3 (-105).

The Chargers have been solid this season and even better against weaker opponents. They covered both times when they were favored, winning each outright by 10 or more points. As favorites, the Chargers are averaging 24 points per game.

The Broncos have scored 10 or fewer points each time this season when they’re coming off a 20-plus point performance. They are also just 1-1 ATS at home. Considering those trends and Nix’s struggles to sustain drives and play turnover-free football, take CHARGERS -3 (-105).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 35.5 (-110).

The Broncos defense is among the strongest in the NFL and is 1-3 O/U in its last 4 games, allowing a total of just 34 points over the last 3. Denver, as noted, has typically struggled offensively after exploding, which it did in Week 5 against the Raiders.

The Chargers are 0-4 O/U on the season. They have scored over 10 points in 2 of 4 games, and in the games they scored more than 10, they held their opponents to 10 or fewer.

With all that in mind, back UNDER 35.5 (-110).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Las Vegas Raiders (3-0) and Denver Broncos (1-2) meet Sunday. Kickoff from Empower Field at Mile High is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Raiders vs. Broncos odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions..

The Raiders improved to 2-2 with a 20-16 win as 2.5-point underdogs vs. the visiting Cleveland Browns Sept. 29. After trailing 10-0 in the 1st quarter, the Raiders bounced back, outscoring the Browns 20-6 the rest of the way. The Raiders relied on their ground game, amassing 152 rushing yards and 2 TDs to secure the victory.

The Broncos earned their second straight win in Week 4, edging out the New York Jets 10-9 as 8.5-point road underdogs. It wasn’t a flashy victory, but they got the job done. QB Bo Nix threw for just 60 yards, but managed to connect with WR Courtland Sutton for his first career TD pass, helping the Broncos secure the hard-fought win.

Raiders at Broncos picks and predictions

Prediction

Broncos 17, Raiders 13

Moneyline

PASS.

I’ve got the Broncos (-150) getting the win at home, but I don’t like paying all that juice — I’d rather look to the spread.

Against the spread

BET BRONCOS -3 (-110).

The Broncos have navigated a tough start with 3 of their first 4 games on the road and performed admirably. Now, they return home with higher expectations, backed by one of the best defenses in the league.

Meanwhile, the Raiders are dealing with injuries, notably to Crosby and Adams, and have struggled defensively and on the ground.

Denver’s offense still needs work, but its defense has been sharp, allowing only 29 points over the last 3 games.

The Raiders’ inconsistent play and injury concerns make their road challenge even tougher.

I’ll take the BRONCOS -3 (-110) here, as their defense and home-field edge should prevail.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 35.5 (-110).

The signs all point toward a low-scoring affair. Denver’s last 3 games have all gone Under, and it has hit the Under in 7 of the last 8 meetings as a home favorite. The Raiders, meanwhile, have gone Under in 9 of their last 10 games as underdogs following a home win.

With both teams coming off a stretch of games that have stayed under the total, including 2 of the last 3 meetings, it’s likely we’ll see a defensive battle. Betting UNDER 35.5 (-110) feels like the smart move here.

Denver Broncos at New York Jets odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Denver Broncos at New York Jets odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Denver Broncos (1-2) pay a visit to the New York Jets (2-1) Sunday. Kickoff from MetLife Stadium is set for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Broncos vs. Jets odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Denver shocked the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the form of a 26-7 road win in Week 3, covering as a 6-point underdog in claiming its 1st W of the season. The Broncos offense finished with 352 yards, while the defense held the Bucs to 223 yards and forced 2 turnovers. QB Bo Nix looked better as he completed 25 of 36 passes for 216 yards but with no TDs and no picks. However, he had a rushing TD, finishing with 47 yards on 9 carries. He still has yet to throw his 1st career TD.

The Jets beat down the Patriots 24-3 in the Thursday Night Football game in Week 3. New York easily covered as a 6.5-point favorite. The Jets defense shut down the Patriots offense, holding them to just 139 total yards (61 passing, 78 rushing) while also forcing a turnover. Jets QB Aaron Rodgers finished 27 of 35 for 281 yards with 2 TDs.

Broncos at Jets picks and predictions

Prediction

Jets 27, Broncos 10

Moneyline

PASS.

The Jets will pick up the win and cover as -375 favorites, but they are not worth the risk of betting on as such heavy favorites. Back the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

BET JETS -7.5 (-110).

New York is simply the much better team and just proved with its win vs. New England that it can beat down on a team similar to Denver’s caliber. The Denver is coming off of a nice outright win as an underdog, but the Jets are starting to figure things out, and I expect them to have no difficulty at home vs. the Broncos.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 39.5 (-110).

Denver played well against a good Tampa Bay defense in its last showing, but I expect the Jets to give the Broncos a lot of trouble in this matchup. New York has a defense that is very good on all levels — though LB C.J. Mosley might not play as a toe injury has him listed as doubtful .

This is a lean because New York may be able to put up a good amount of points vs. the Denver defense and drive this game to hit the Over.

Denver Broncos at Tampa Bay Buccaneers odds, picks and predictions

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Denver Broncos (0-2) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-0) meet Sunday. Kickoff from Raymond James Stadium is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Broncos vs. Buccaneers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions..

The Broncos fell to 0-2 after a 13-6 home loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers Sept. 15. They missed covering as 2.5-point underdogs, with the game staying under the 36.5-point total. Rookie QB Bo Nix struggled, throwing his 3rd and 4th picks of the season, but did lead the team in rushing with just 25 yards. Despite the defense keeping them in the game, it wasn’t enough to secure a win.

The Buccaneers moved to 2-0 after a 20-10 win at the Detroit Lions in Week 2. They pulled off the upset as 7.5-point underdogs, and the game stayed under the 51.5 total. The run game didn’t do much with just 70 rushing yards, but QB Baker Mayfield found WR Chris Godwin for 117 of his 185 passing yards and a TD. Tampa’s defense came up big, too, snagging 2 INTs off Lions QB Jared Goff to help lock in the win.

Broncos at Buccaneers picks and predictions

Prediction

Buccaneers 28, Broncos 14

Moneyline

PASS.

The Buccaneers (-300) have looked terrific through 2 weeks, and that will continue in Week 3 against the Broncos. I’ll save my bet for the spread.

Against the spread

BET BUCCANEERS -6.5 (-110).

Mayfield is off to a hot start, following up his Week 1 showcase with an upset win in Detroit. Tampa’s covered 4 of its last 5 games, and even though it has been pass-heavy and light on sacks, it is proving to be a strong NFC contender.

Meanwhile, Nix is having a rough go. He’s thrown more interceptions than anyone else, and his yards per completion are near the bottom of the league. Despite staying close in games, Denver’s offense just isn’t clicking. I’m confident Tampa handles this one — BET BUCCANEERS -6.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET OVER 40.5 (-110).

These teams have gone Under in 3 of their last 4 matchups, and both stayed Under in their games last week.

Tampa Bay’s offense is hit-or-miss, and while its defense doesn’t rack up sacks, it keep things tight. Meanwhile, Nix has been struggling to get anything going, and the Broncos’ offense hasn’t looked explosive. With both teams leaning toward low-scoring games, the Under feels like the safer bet.

The Steelers opened the season with an 18-10 win at the Atlanta Falcons behind K Chris Boswell’s 6 made field goals, earning him AFC Special Teams Player of the Week. They covered as 4-point underdogs as the Under (43) cashed.

The Broncos covered as 6.5-point underdogs in a 26-20 loss at the Seattle Seahawks Sept. 8 as the Over (42.5) hit. It was a rough debut for rookie QB Bo Nix, as he had only 138 passing yards and 2 INTs.

Steelers at Broncos picks and predictions

Prediction

Steelers 19, Broncos 13

Moneyline

QB Justin Fields will get the start for the Steelers (-150) again this week. The offense was not efficient, but it didn’t have to be, as the defense picked off Falcons QB Kirk Cousins twice and had 3 total takeaways.

Nix turned the ball over multiple times in Week 1.

Pittsburgh will get in the end zone once, but the defense will shut down the Denver offense like it did to Atlanta.

But with only a 2.5-point spread and better odds with that, go with the spread.

PASS.

Against the spread

To cover this spread, the Steelers have to win by only a field goal. Boswell only made 6 of those in the opener.

Denver only scored 1 TD last week.

BET STEELERS -2.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The Steelers won’t score a lot of points, as Fields has been a checkdown king so far. The Broncos certainly won’t score much on this Pittsburgh defense, especially if they’re turning the ball over.

Don’t expect many points in this game at all.

BET UNDER 36.5 (-110).

The Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks open their seasons Sunday. Kickoff from Lumen Field is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Broncos vs. Seahawks odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Broncos will have rookie QB Bo Nix in the starting lineup to lead Denver’s offense. They cut QB Russell Wilson in the offseason. It is their second season under coach Sean Payton and defensive coordinator Vance Joseph.

The Seahawks have familiar faces with QB Geno Smith still starting with the same offensive weapons as before, but they have a first-year coach in Mike Macdonald. They have beefed up their defensive line, re-signing Leonard Williams and drafting Byron Murphy II in the 1st round this year. No one knows what the Seahawks will be in their first year in over a decade without Pete Carroll leading the way.

Broncos at Seahawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Seahawks 27, Broncos 24

Moneyline

The Broncos scored a lot of points in the preseason, which doesn’t mean it will transfer to the regular season, but at least there is some trend. They scored 33 points per game in the preseason.

RB Javonte Williams should find success in the running game against a defense that is going to take time to jell. Last year, even with Williams clogging up the defensive interior, Seattle (-250) allowed 175.1 rushing yards per game over their final 7 games.

With a rookie QB in Nix, there will be mistakes, so I can’t predict an outright Broncos win.

That said, -250 odds to bet on the favored Seahawks isn’t worth the action.

PASS.

Against the spread

We don’t know enough about either team to know what they will be. They both appear to be kind of the same. They were subpar teams last season and it looks like this could be a transition year — Denver because of a rookie QB and Seattle because of a first-year coach.

That’s why the 6-point spread seems crazy. Neither team, on paper, is significantly better than the other.

BET BRONCOS +6 (-110).

Over/Under

Denver had no problems scoring in the preseason. Seattle has a running game with RB Kenneth Walker III, and even potentially missing Lockett, Smith has weapons to throw it to in WRs DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Seattle scored 33 in its preseason finale but only had 31 combined points in its first 2 games.

The Cardinals have gone winless in the preseason do far, losing 16-14 at home to the New Orleans Saints and then 21-13 on the road to the Indianapolis Colts. None of their starters will play this weekend.

The Broncos are 2-0 in the preseason. They beat Indy on the road 34-30 in their preseason opener and followed it up last week with a 27-2 home win over the Green Bay Packers.

Cardinals at Broncos picks and predictions

Prediction

Broncos 27, Cardinals 10

Moneyline

The Cardinals won’t have any of their starters and aren’t likely to have any key rotational players playing. QB Clayton Tune will start and QB Desmond Ridder will finish the game. The Cardinals have only scored 3 points in Ridder’s playing time this preseason.

The Cardinals haven’t scored more than 14 points in the preseason and the Broncos have scored 27 or more in both.

The Broncos probably win but don’t bet the moneyline here when there is better value with the spread.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Broncos have won both preseason games by more than 3 points. The Cardinals lost last week by 8.

For the Broncos, QB Zach Wilson, a former No. 2 overall pick, will play against the Cardinals’ deep backups. He should look great.

BET BRONCOS -3 (-110).

Over/Under

The Broncos should be able to score as they have thus far in the preseason. The Cardinals should be in double digits at least, just as they have in their first 2 preseason games.

Packers at Broncos picks and predictions

Prediction

Broncos 27, Packers 17

Moneyline

PASS.

There is better value on the Broncos’ spread.

Against the spread

BET BRONCOS -7 (-115).

Denver showed its offensive prowess last week with Wilson and Nix both having strong outings. Their depth at QB will be the difference-maker on Sunday. While there is an opportunity to clean up on defense, the Packers and Clifford will not be able to keep up on the road.

Over/Under

BET OVER 39.5 (-105).

The Packers scored 23 points in their opening week while the Broncos put up 34. With both teams showing their offensive abilities, expect more of the same on Sunday. Each team should settle in more on both sides of the ball and behind strong QB play, each offense should continue find its groove.

Denver Broncos at Indianapolis Colts odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Denver Broncos at Indianapolis Colts odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Denver Broncos and the Indianapolis Colts open their preseasons at Lucas Oil Stadium Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (NFL Network/NFL+). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Broncos vs. Colts odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The new-look Broncos will have QB Jarrett Stidham under center to start against a Colts defense, which is expected to use their starters. Newcomer QB Zach Wilson and 1st-round draft pick QB Bo Nix are also expected to see action.

The Broncos will welcome back WR Tim Patrick, as he has missed back-to-back seasons due to ugly injuries. The team plans to also see plenty of action from free-agent addition WR Josh Reynolds, as well as WRs Marvin Mims and rookie Troy Franklin.

The Colts announced they plan to play starters, including QB Anthony Richardson. He hasn’t played in nearly 10 months due to a season-ending shoulder injury suffered early last season. While Richardson is playing, head coach Shane Steichen has been adamant that starters will play just a series or 2.

Denver went 1-2 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) in the preseason in 2023, with the Over going 2-1. The Over is 4-2 in the past 2 preseasons for the Broncos.

For Indianapolis, it was 2-1 SU/ATS in the preseason in 2023, with the Over going 3-0. The Colts are 7-1-1 ATS in the past 3 preseasons, with the Over going 7-2.

Broncos at Colts picks and predictions

Prediction

Broncos 23, Colts 19

Moneyline

The BRONCOS (+110) are worth a look as the slight underdogs.

Stidham and the Denver offense likely won’t have to contend with the Colts’ (-135) starting defense for much more than a series or so. Once Stidham is out of the game, things won’t change much with Wilson and/or Nix coming on against the defensive reserves.

The Colts also have QB Joe Flacco to come on once Richardson is done, while QBs Sam Ehlinger and Kedon Slovis battle for QB3. This has the potential to be a surprising and exciting game.

Against the spread

Backing the Broncos +1.5 (-120) makes very little sense unless you’re absolutely convinced the Colts -1.5 (+100) will win, but only by a single point. If you like Denver, just bet it straight up for a better value.

PASS.

Over/Under

OVER 38.5 (-105) is a solid play, as this game features plenty of depth under center. The offenses should look rather efficient all throughout the game.

The Broncos will likely use Stidham, Wilson and Nix, while the Colts are expected to use Richardson for a series or 2, before Flacco gets into the game. The 2nd half is likely going to see a heavy dose of Ehlinger, while Slovis could also see action.

The Kansas City Chiefs (6-1) face the Denver Broncos (2-5) Sunday in Week 8 NFL action. Kickoff at Empower Field at Mile High is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Chiefs vs. Broncos odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Chiefs won their 6th straight game in Week 7, beating the Los Angeles Chargers 31-17 and covering as 6-point home favorites. QB Patrick Mahomes threw for 424 yards, 4 touchdowns and 1 interception. He connected 12 times with TE Travis Kelce for 179 yards and a score while Kelce’s girlfriend, 12-time Grammy Award winner Taylor Swift, cheered him on from a suite.

Denver won its 2nd game of the season in Week 7, taking down the Green Bay Packers 19-17. QB Russell Wilson passed for 194 yards and 1 touchdown.

Chiefs at Broncos picks and predictions

Prediction

Chiefs 27, Broncos 13

Moneyline

PASS.

The Chiefs will win this game, but I’m not going to take them at their -350 odds and nor should you. Look to the spread and total to make a bet on this one.

Against the spread

BET CHIEFS -7 (-110).

While I am confident the Chiefs will cover this number, I’d personally take the alternative line on BetMGM of -6.5 at -130 odds.

While the Chiefs did not score a lot, they did cover the 10.5-point spread in the 1st head-to-head meeting this season. Mahomes threw for 306 yards, and 124 of those went to Kelce.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 46 (-110).

These teams only scored a combined 27 points in their 1st meeting 2 weeks ago. They won’t score under 30 again, but they do not go over this total either. In general this season, the Under is hitting at an alarming rate.

Kansas City has gone under the total in 3 straight games coming into this one. Denver gave up 36.4 points per game over its 1st 5 but has cut that in half over its last 2.

The Chiefs offense has not been as prolific this season. This is the 1st year since 2017 that it is averaging fewer than 26 points per game.
