The Denver Broncos (5-9) visit the Los Angeles Chargers (5-9) Sunday of Week 16 Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET. Here’s a look at the early betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.
The Broncos are coming off a 48-19 debacle in a Saturday home loss to the Buffalo Bills. Denver was more than doubled up in yardage 534 to 255 as the Broncos lost for the third time in their last four games. The Denver defense – which ranks 27th in the NFL in points allowed (28.2 per game) – has coughed up 30-or-more points six times in the last nine weeks. The Bills passed for 352 yards and rushed the ball for 7.6 yards per carry in scoring the most points against the Broncos since Nov. 5, 2017 (51 by the Philadelphia Eagles).
The Chargers defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 30-27 in overtime in the Thursday Night Football game. QB Justin Herbert logged two touchdown passes and a running TD in a game that saw him register 300 or more passing yards (314) for a seventh time in 2020. The victory marked the second straight for Los Angeles – both were three-point margins. The Chargers’ last three wins have been decided by 7 points or less. They went 1-6 in their first seven such games that were decided by 7 points or less this season.
