Monday Night Football Prop Picks, Predictions Week 6: Can Broncos Claim Prime-time Redemption?
The Denver Broncos in primetime have been hard to watch. Spice up this game with these unique Monday Night Football Prop Picks.
The Denver Broncos have participated in three primetime games over the first five weeks of the season. All three have produced low-scoring and, according to public opinion, almost unwatchable football. This week, they will have a shot to change that against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night.
They take on the Los Angeles Chargers, who have plenty of offensive weapons to make this an entertaining matchup, with or without the help of their opponent. A game separates these two teams in the AFC West standings. Both are chasing the Kansas City Chiefs for first place.

Total touchdowns Under 4.5 (+130)
Denver has averaged just 1.2 touchdowns per game in 2022. They scored only one touchdown in each of their first three games of the season. Last week, they failed to find the end zone altogether. In Week 4, they managed to score a season-high three touchdowns against the Raiders, which was the only game which the Broncos combined for the Over on this prop. Denver has scored an average of 15 points per game which is 31st in the league.
The Chargers are averaging 2.8 touchdowns per game this season. They have scored three touchdowns in three of their five contests. Los Angeles only found the end zone once in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Their defense is allowing 3.2 touchdowns per game. However, they have faced two of the top ten scoring teams in the Kansas City Chiefs and the Cleveland Browns.
Chargers total points Over 26.5 (+100)
Los Angeles has scored an average of 24.4 points over their first five games. The Chargers started the season failing to reach this point total in their first three matchups. They have since found a spark and enjoyed back-to-back games of more than 30 points.
The Broncos are the league’s fourth best defense allowing 16 points per game. While that number is impressive, they have accomplished this against two of the lowest scoring offenses in the league. Last week, they faced the Indianapolis Colts who have scored the fewest points in the NFL this year. In Week 4, they surrendered 32 points to the Las Vegas Raiders, another AFC West opponent.
Broncos total point band 21-30 (+170)

Los Angeles has allowed 27.2 points per game to start the season. In three of their five games their opponent fell inside this point band.
First Broncos drive result: punt (-140)
The Broncos have punted on their first possession in three of their five games this season. Denver is tied with the Dallas Cowboys and the Houston Texans at 26 for the league’s third-most punts-overall in 2022. They face a Chargers defense that has allowed only two opponents to score on the first drive of their contests.
