The Chargers have two big weaknesses the Broncos’ coaching staff absolutely need to exploit to win the game. Joe Mahoney Attack the Chargers’ weaknesses On defense, we need to hope that our ragtag LB group of castoffs and unwanted veterans can summon up the magic that somehow made the Dallas offense miss easy throws and easy catches. Staying out of third-and -ong is critical as Joey Bosa could wreck this game if we have to pass because of yards to the sticks. With a young and inexperienced offensive line, we need to focus on runs that can consistently get three yards. Scotty Payne Fit the game plan to the players If the Broncos do that, they can pull off the upset and stay alive in the ever-competitive AFC West. Some say defense wins championships but scoring more points than your opponent is the true champion winning strategy. Clair Score more points than the Chargers If ever there was a time to dial up a Tim Tebow game plan, this is it. If the Broncos run the ball and do so effectively, it also keeps Herbert and the Chargers offense on the sideline. That’s even more paramount since LA has the worst run defense in the NFL.

It’s no secret how the Broncos have success, especially on offense. Here are the MHR staff’s keys to Sunday’s game. LA Chargers: Seventeenth in overall defense (355.0 yards per game), 32nd in rushing defense (145.1), fifth in passing defense (209.8), 27th in scoring defense (26.5 points per game).ĭenver: Ninth in overall defense (328.2 yards per game), 14th in rushing defense (110.1), ninth in passing defense (218.1), third in scoring defense (18.3 points per game). LA Chargers: Eighth in overall offense (386.5 yards per game), 21st in rushing (106.1), sixth in passing (280.4), 11th in scoring offense (26.0 points per game).ĭenver: Twentieth in overall offense (342.1 yards per game), 19th in rushing (111.5), 18th in passing (230.6), 23rd in scoring offense (20.0 points per game). What’s fascinating about the total, the over has hit just twice in Broncos games this season. In terms of the total, the over/under sits at 48.5. If you were curious, the Broncos are 5-5 against the spread. It’ll be interesting to see if that spread number changes as the game gets closer. When the early lines dropped in mid-May, Denver was the -2.5-point favorite. The Broncos are currently a +2.5-point underdog to Justin Herbert and LA at DraftKings Sportsbook. The one that upset the Dallas Cowboys? Or the one that got embarrassed by the Philadelphia Eagles? It would be nice to see the one that stomped the Cowboys on against the Los Angeles Chargers, but good luck trying to figure that out. Which Denver Broncos team will the fans see on Sunday?
