Broncos vs. Chargers Opening Line

Here are the current Broncos-Chargers odds. These odds are from DraftKings Sportsbook and although there is some slight variation in the line at different sportsbooks, this is a good indication of where most of the lines are as of November 15, 2024 9:25 PM.

Let’s look at the line, spread, total, and odds for this Week 8 matchup between the Broncos and Chargers.

Team Spread Moneyline Total
Chargers -3 (-110) -150 O 45 (-110)
Broncos +3 (-110) +123 U 45 (-110)

 

Spread

The spread on the Broncos is +3 on DraftKings Sportsbook.

For the first time in weeks, the Broncos are not a two-score underdog. They opened up as a big dog against the New England Patriots in Week 6 and the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7.

They are going to be a spread line underdog once again though. The Broncos have yet to be a favorite for any game during the 2020 season, but they are an impressive 4-2 against the spread.

Keep an eye on where this spread moves as the week goes on. The Broncos opened at +1, but the number continues to rise.

Moneyline

The Broncos are slight underdogs on the moneyline at +123 for their Week 7 matchup with the Chargers.

Even though Denver and Los Angeles have the same record, this is going to be a tough matchup for the Broncos. The Chargers look like a different team with Justin Herbert under center and they’re scoring points at an incredible rate.

Couple that with the fact that the Broncos are winless at home this season and it’s looking more and more like this is a game where Denver is going to be fighting to keep pace with the Chargers’ offense.

A $100 bet on the Broncos at DraftKings Sportsbook would net a profit of $123 if Drew Lock and company can bounce back with a win.

Total

The total points mark is set to 45 right now.

The Broncos and Chiefs are both 3-3 on over-unders so far in 2020, but the Chargers are trending towards the over. Since Herbert took over as the starter, the Chargers are 3-2 on the total points, including three overs in a row.

The Broncos, on the other hand, have had struggles with scoring since Lock’s return from injury. They hit the over last week, but that had much more to do with the fact that the Chiefs put up 43 points.
