Denver Broncos slight road underdogs at Los Angeles Chargers in Week 16

The Denver Broncos are the betting underdogs in their Week 16 road game at the Los Angeles Chargers.

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.

Las Vegas Raiders home favorites vs. Los Angeles Chargers in Week 15

The Chargers snapped a two-game skid with a 20-17 win vs. the visiting Atlanta Falcons in Week 14. PK Michael Badgley’s 43-yard field goal as time expired sealed the victory for the Chargers, who covered as 1-point favorites. The game finished Under the 49 total. Tied at 17-all, CB Mike Davis’ interception with 36 seconds left gave LA the ball at its own 26-yard line. QB Justin Herbert then completed passes of 8, 15 and 25 yards on three of his next four pass attempts to set up Badgley’s winning kick. Hebert finished with 243 passing yards, 2 touchdowns and 1 interception, while RB Austin Ekeler added 79 rushing yards and 67 receiving yards. The defense held the Falcons to 70 rushing yards and had 3 interceptions.

The Raiders lost at home 44-27 to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 14, suffering a big hit to their playoff hopes. The defense was so bad that Las Vegas fired defensive coordinator Paul Guenther after the game. The Raiders allowed 212 rushing yards and 7.7 yards per play, didn’t record a turnover or a sack and forced just one Colts punt. Indy, which was a 2.5-point favorite, scored on 7 of its first 8 possessions with the 9th and final possession ending in victory formation. The Over of 52 cashed easily. QB Derek Carr threw for 316 yards with 2 TDs and 2 picks in the loss, while WR Nelson Agholor pulled in 5 catches for a game-high 100 receiving yards in the loss.

Los Angeles Chargers favored at home vs. winless New York Jets in Week 11

The Los Angeles Chargers are the betting favorites in their Week 11 home game with the New York Jets.

The winless New York Jets (0-9) visit the Los Angeles Chargers (2-7) in Week 11 Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET. Here’s a look at the early betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Jets had the week off. They lost at home to the New England Patriots 30-27 in the Week 9 Monday Night Football game. New York led 20-10 at the half, 27-17 after three and 27-20 with 6:04 to go, but the Pats tied it at the 1:57 mark and won it on a 51-yard field goal as time expired. The Jets’ 0-9 start is the worst in their franchise history.

The Chargers dropped their third in a row, losing at the Miami Dolphins 29-21 in Week 10. QB Justin Herbert completed 20 of 32 passes for a season-low 187 yards with 2 touchdowns and an interception. But it was special teams that did in the Chargers. On L.A.’s first possession, P Ty Long bobbled a snap and had his punt blocked, which set up Miami for a 1-yard TD run. Also in the first quarter, the Chargers were called for offside on a Dolphins’ field-goal attempt, which gave Miami a first down, leading to another TD and a 14-0 deficit.
