The Los Angeles Chargers are considered 6.5-point favorites over the Denver Broncos in Week 17 of the 2021 season. The over/under is 45.5 points, per Tipico Sportsbook.
That means oddsmakers are taking bets on whether the two teams will combine to score more than or fewer than 45.5 points.
My score prediction for the game is a 21-17 win for the Chargers, with a combined total of 38 points. So if I were putting money behind my prediction, I’d bet the under.
As for game picks, analysts are favoring Los Angeles.
