D* Chargers -3 (-120)
The Chargers are surging as postseason play gets set to begin, winners of 4 straight and 5 of 6 as they head to Denver for their regular season finale. LA has demolished the point spread recently, covering the number by double digits in each of their last 2 games. This contest is far from meaningless to the Chargers, who definitely want to stay locked into the 5 seed. They’ll retain that seed with a win, which would have them play either the Jags or the Titans. If LA was to drop to #6, they would have to face either the Chiefs, Bills, Bengals, or Ravens, so plenty of incentive for them to win against a team that’s been a laughingstock for most of the season. The Broncos have now lost 7 of 8, and a change in coaching isn't enough to salvage a cover at such a low number. The defense has really been a difference-maker in the 2nd half for LA, and they’re playing some of the best football in the NFL at the moment. Take the Chargers.
D% play on Chargers (469) at -3 or better, 3% at -3.5 or worse
