Wilson hasn\u2019t been living up to the hype, and certainly didn\u2019t put on a show last Thursday in the team\u2019s 12-9 overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts. In that game, fans started making a run for the doors before time expired, missing the overtime finale. They didn’t miss much.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Denver Broncos are in third place in the AFC West with a 2-3 record. Playing as visitors this season, they have yet to win a game.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
On the other hand, against the Broncos, the Chargers are 36-26 at home. One of those was a victory against the Broncos when they met at SoFi Stadium last season. L.A. had no difficulty then, taking the game 34-13.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
QB Justin Herbert has been earning his paycheck, and then some. He’s created an offense that now sits in second place in terms of passing, picking up an average of 291 yards per game. He could be interesting to watch in tonight\u2019s matchup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Broncos in a Transition Year<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The Broncos rank 31st in the NFL in scoring, picking up just 15 points per game. They\u2019ve found success in reaching the red zone, but can’t finish off drives once they’re there. They\u2019re last in terms of red zone scoring, converting just 21% of their attempts into points. On the other side of tonight\u2019s game, the Chargers have pushed into the end zone on 53.4% of their trips to the red zone.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Wilson has been struggling to find his place on the Broncos crew. Against the Colts last week, he completed just two of 15 passes over 10 yards. Another two throws ended up in the hands of the defense. It’s not all on him, though, as he\u2019s dealing with a shoulder injury that might be hindering his performance.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDenver head coach Nathaniel Hackett is also receiving his share of the blame. He seems to be walking on eggshells, looking too timid to make the big plays or to protect Wilson.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Broncos are 1-4 against the spread (ATS) this season, while the Chargers are a mirror reflection at 4-1. The Chargers have been banged up a bit this season, but they’re starting to get some of their injured players back into the rotation.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
For sports bettors<\/a>, the moneyline is probably a little thinner than it needs to be for this game. Although surprises happen, like the Chicago Bears beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, no miracle is expected today. The spread shouldn’t be a problem for the Chargers, either. With almost 60% of the games going to the under this season, the 45.5 total seems like it’s ready to keep the trend going.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The L.A.
