Denver Broncos vs Los Angeles Chargers Prediction

The Los Angeles Chargers will beat the Denver Broncos. The Denver Broncos will cover the spread, and the total will go under.

Analyzing both teams’ offensive efficiency provides a clearer picture of what to expect in the matchup. The Chargers are averaging 27 points per game, which demonstrates their ability to consistently put points on the board. Their passing offense is particularly notable, averaging 318 passing yards per game with an impressive completion percentage of 73.5. This air attack is complemented by a moderately effective ground game, though only managing 90 rushing yards per game on 25 attempts. This reliance on the passing game can expose certain vulnerabilities, especially against an aggressive pass defense.

On the flip side, the Broncos present a different dynamic. They are scoring an average of 24 points per game, relying heavily on the run with 134.5 rushing yards on 27 attempts, which indicates a balanced offensive approach. However, their passing yards per game sit at a lower 191. While the Denver offense may struggle to match the Chargers’ scoring output, their ground game should help maintain possession and keep the game closer than expected. Given these dynamics and both teams’ mettle, I anticipate a lower total score. Therefore, the result may favor the Chargers, but with the Broncos covering, as their run-heavy strategy could lead to a lower total score than predicted.
