According to DraftKings Sportsbook Colorado, they are 8-6 against the spread this season.
One of their outright wins this season came at home against the Chargers and it was one of the best games of Drew Lock’s career. The second-year quarterback threw for three touchdowns in the fourth quarter, one of which came as time expired.
The Chargers get a slight bump by playing at home, but these two teams are tied in the standings at 5-9.

On the flip side, the Chargers are -180 at home. They have done well in games as the outright favorite. They are 4-3 outright when they are favored this season. A $180 bet would win Chargers backers $100.
Total

Totals have been tough to bet on Broncos games this season. The offense tends to be very up and down and Drew Lock’s performances seem to directly correlate with the over/unders. Denver is only averaging 19.7 points per game but they have scored over 30 points three times this year.
In Week 14 against the Panthers, Lock threw for a career-high four touchdowns en route to 37 points and an easy over. Conversely, in Week 13, Lock only threw for 151 yards and Denver only managed to put up 16 points.
