Ben Rolfe writes: "The Chargers’ victory over the Steelers was huge for their playoff chances, but now they have to go on the road and back it up. The Broncos have been another team that you simply do not know what you are getting when they step on the field this year. The Chargers should have too much, especially if the Broncos are sloppy coming off the bye."

Matt Johnson writes: "There’s isn’t a lot to be said about the Denver Broncos considering their starting quarterback option is Drew Lock or Teddy Bridgewater. Either way, that situation puts a cap on this team’s potential. Los Angeles will take advantage of that, securing a victory in Denver thanks to Justin Herbert while moving to 7-4."

It writes: "The Broncos are going to be the more rested team, but I think their luck on defense is going to come out. Somehow, they have managed to trade Von Miller and get better on defense? I don’t think it is sustainable and I think that Justin Herbert and the Chargers are built to pick apart the defense with their versatility. This is going to be a game where they lean on Austin Ekeler and his dual-threat ability on the ground and in the receiving game."

Tyler Sullivan writes: "L.A. is coming off a thrilling win over the Steelers where Justin Herbert put up Madden-like numbers to keep his team in the playoff picture in the AFC. The Chargers will now travel to Denver to take on the Broncos, who are also looking to jump back into the playoff race and jump above .500 on the season. The Chargers are a slim 1.5-point favorite coming into this game and are putting their 5-0 ATS winning streak against the AFC West on the line. Meanwhile, Denver is looking to turn things around after going 2-5 ATS over its last seven games."

Vincent Frank writes: "Protecting its homefield. That will be key for Denver as the team looks to overcome what was a disappointing 2020 season. The Broncos are under .500 at home during the Vic Fangio era. This must change in short order. The good news? Denver’s defense held Justin Herbert to four touchdowns against two interceptions as a rookie. Should this trend continue in 2021, I wouldn’t be shocked with a home win over the ascending Chargers."
