Chargers vs. Broncos Prediction, Odds, Against Spread and Over/Under for NFL Week 12

The AFC West race is heating up after the Los Angeles Chargers came back to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football. 

Los Angeles quarterback Justin Herbert has orchestrated five game-winning drives this season, but he is hoping for an easier matchup against the 5-5 Denver Broncos in Week 12. Denver is coming off its bye, but it needs a win to stay alive in a crowded AFC playoff picture.

Chargers vs. Broncos Prediction and Pick

The Chargers run defense has been their Achilles heel all season (dead last in yards allowed), and they’ve allowed 4.7 yards per carry on the year. 

This fits in perfectly for a Denver team that wants to limit the number of chances Teddy Bridgewater has to make a mistake, and I expect a heavy dose of Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon in Week 12. 

Both of these teams have been a more profitable under team, and with this game being in Mile High with a run-heavy game script for Denver, I like the under in this matchup as well. 

Nine of Denver’s 10 games have finished with less than 47.0 points. Give me the under and don’t think twice. 

Pick: Chargers-Broncos UNDER 47.0 (-110)
