3 Best Prop Bets for Chargers vs. Broncos: Fade Justin Herbert, Back Javonte Williams

The Denver Broncos will host the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 12 of the NFL season in a huge AFC West matchup. 

If Denver wins, every AFC West team will be over .500 entering Week 13, but Los Angeles needs a win to keep pace with the Kansas City Chiefs in the division. 

Here are three prop bets I have my eye on for this crucial matchup with all odds via WynnBET:

Best Prop Bets for Chargers vs. Broncos

• Javonte Williams OVER 50.5 Rushing Yards (-125)
• Tim Patrick Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+275) 
• Justin Herbert UNDER 1.5 Touchdown Passes (+125)

Javonte Williams OVER 50.5 Rushing Yards (-125)

The Broncos need this win to get back over .500, and I think they’ll play to their strengths and run the ball against a weak Chargers run defense. 

Los Angeles enters Week 12 allowing the most rushing yards in the NFL and an astounding 4.7 yards per carry. Javonte Williams has been the better runner between himself and Melvin Gordon the past two weeks, rushing for 159 yards on 25 carries. 

I think he gets double-digit opportunities in this one and easily eclipses the 50-yard mark. 

Tim Patrick Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+275) 

If you’re looking for some value in the prop market, turn to Denver wideout Tim Patrick, who leads the team in receiving touchdowns (4) and is second in receiving yards this season. 

Patrick was just given a big extension by the team, and he has proven to be an elite downfield and red zone threat for Denver. Denver’s offense may find a rhythm, especially after what the Pittsburgh Steelers did to Los Angeles last week, so I’ll take Patrick at +275 to score, considering it is the longest odds of any Denver skill player. 

Justin Herbert UNDER 1.5 Touchdown Passes (+125)

Herbert is having an MVP-caliber season, but he’s running into a Denver team that has only allowed 13 touchdown passes all season (third best in the league). 

After Austin Ekeler’s explosion in Week 11, I wouldn’t be surprised if he has another big game against a Denver team that is down its two top middle linebackers. I’ll fade Herbert at +125 against a tough Denver secondary.
