Chargers vs. Broncos Predictions & Odds Today | Best ATS & TD Picks for NFL Week 18
Denver hosts Los Angeles today with a chance to clinch the No. 1 seed in the AFC, and I'm dropping my best Chargers vs. Broncos prediction to help build your bankroll.
Kickoff from Empower Field at Mile High in Denver is set for 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS). With the Chargers locking up a wild-card spot, Justin Herbert will rest his hand for this one. Does that mean the Broncos are going to win big? Let's dive into our NFL Week 18 predictions.

Broncos -13 (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is about to be a blowout.
Without Justin Herbert, Trey Lance steps into the fold for the Chargers behind the worst offensive line in the league. Opposite to him? A top-three defense in football, and an offense starting its best as they push for the No. 1 seed in the AFC.
Lance will have trouble moving the ball in between the 20s, as the Broncos' defense gives up just 4.5 yards per play - the best mark in the NFL. I'll take Denver as part of our best Chargers vs. Broncos predictions.
Score prediction: Chargers 3, Broncos 21

Courtland Sutton, WR, Broncos: TD Pick (+185) ⭐⭐⭐
With a 23.3% target share inside the red zone, I'll wager on Sutton to hit pay dirt for us against a defense and secondary that may very well be checked out come the second half. Sutton has scored a touchdown in two of his last three games and has double-digit targets in four straight weeks. Let's ride with him to score and not look back.
