Los Angeles Chargers vs Denver Broncos 1/8/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

The Los Angeles Chargers will meet with the Denver Broncos in NFL action at Empower Field at Mile High, CO, on Sunday, January 8, 2023, at 4:25 PM ET.

The Chargers won four consecutive matches to rescue their season, and with a victory on Sunday, they can capture the top Wild Card seed in the AFC.

A few weeks ago, Los Angeles’ chances of making the playoffs seemed slim, especially with games against Miami and Tennessee still to be played in the regular season.

Los Angeles reacted by defeating both of those groups, then continued to dominate the Rams and Indianapolis to secure a playoff spot.

The Chargers average 359.8 total yards per game, including 91.6 rushing yards and 268.2 passing yards, and they score 22.7 points per game. They share 4th place in the league for turnover differential (+5).

Los Angeles ranks eighth in 3rd down conversion rate (43.2%) and nineteenth in the percentage of TDs scored in the end zone (52.6%).

Ekeler is tied for the second-most rushing TDs, and Herbert is third in passing yards (4,466) and QBR (56.8). Mike Williams leads in receiving, hauling in 59 passes for 863 yards and 4 scores.

The Los Angeles Chargers are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 matches.
The total went UNDER in 4 of the Chargers’ previous 5 meetings.
The LA Chargers are 5-1 SU in their last 6 matches.

Los Angeles Chargers vs Denver Broncos Predictions 1/8/2023

The Broncos‘ season is over, but at least they played with heart against the Chiefs on the road last week.

Denver, which earlier in the week fired first-year head coach Nathaniel Hackett, came close to defeating the AFC West leaders, but a defensive breakdown and an interception by criticized QB Russell Wilson proved to be the difference.

The Broncos record 108.1 running yards and 207.9 passing yards in addition to 16.0 points and 316.0 total yards per game.

They rank 16th in red zone TD scoring percentage (54.5%) and worst in 3rd down conversion percentage (28.4%).

The Denver defense allows 20.7 points and 318.0 total yards per game, including 112.9 running yards and 205.1 passing yards.

They rank sixth in total yards permitted per game, 10th in points permitted, 11th in running yards allowed, and 12th in throwing yards permitted.

In terms of the opponent’s 3rd down conversion rate and the opponent’s red zone TD scoring percentage, Denver is in a tie for 4th place (both at 48.8%).

The Denver Broncos are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 matches.
The total went OVER in 4 of Denver’s last 5 matches.
The Broncos are 1-7 SU in their previous 8 meetings.

Los Angeles Chargers vs Denver Broncos. The NFL pick for this game is the Los Angeles Chargers. The Broncos’ defense is unbeatable, but their offense is dreadful.

Denver could score a three-point victory at home if the Chargers decide to rest receivers Allen, Williams, and receivers Ekeler, Herbert, and Ekeler. But for that to happen, LA needs to rest its players, and Wilson needs to be capable of running his offense.

In a way, putting LA at +2.5 for the final game of the regular season might be the oddsmakers’ farewell gift.

In the absence of Allen and Williams, DeAndre Carter (43 receptions for 495 yards) and Joshua Palmer (68 receptions for 730 yards) excelled, and Joshua Kelley (64 carries for 269 yards) may bear the weight in Ekeler’s place.

The Broncos are 1-5 ATS in their last six matches following an outing in which they allowed more than 250 passing yards, while the Chargers are 3-0-1 ATS in their last four matches overall.

Denver is also 1-3 ATS this year as a home favorite. The Los Angeles Chargers will win to a predicted score of 24-20.
