Los Angeles Chargers -1.50 (AH)
NFL regular season, Week 3
Denver Broncos 🆚 Los Angeles Chargers
As one of my favourite NFL bets in this Week 6, I choose Los Angeles Chargers to win the game and cover the offered short handicap away at Denver against Broncos.
As I mentioned in preview for San Francisco 49ers pick, five weeks have passed and we had lot of material to analyze and to make some strong conclusions. One of my strongest opinions is that Denver Broncos heavily overachieved so far. This team that was considered one of the weaker ones, has opened the season in the line with such opinion, by losing both of the first two games. However, the Broncos have won all three since then and now are entering Week 6 with positive 3-2 record. Suddenly the Broncos are getting big respect by the bookmakers. So the initial line for this game was almost pk. The sharp bettors quickly recognized great value on Los Angeles Chargers on such line, so the odds already slowly moving against Denver. We still have -1.5 or -2 on LA Chargers in many places and that's good bet if you ask me.
Simply, I don't buy this 3-2 Broncos' record. Whom they have defeated? After starting 0-2, Denver has defeated Tampa Bay, then heavily inconsistent New York Jets and finally terrible Vegas Raiders. Plus with note, Tampa Bay Buccaneers in that moment was on really bad spot.
Now Denver meet LA Chargers who certainly aren't some big force in NFL these days. But I see one significant advantage for LA team in this upcoming game. Namely the Charges who are 2-2 currently, already had one week off. As a matter fact that was in previous Week 5. That being said, the Los Angeles Chargers will enter this round on a two weeks rest and in my opinion much better prepared.
Good luck to everyone and as always bet responsibly!
