Los Angeles Chargers v Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos will host the Los Angeles Chargers in an AFC West divisional battle on Sunday. The two teams could have the same record (6-5) by tomorrow if the Broncos beat the Chargers.

Denver’s last two games encapsulate their season in a nutshell. They thrashed the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9 before losing to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10. They are currently 5-5 and sit at the bottom of the AFC West standings despite starting the season 3-0. The Broncos need to pick up form to end their playoff drought this season.

The Chargers are a fun team to watch if you aren’t a fan of the team. They are just way too fond of close finishes, in wins and defeats. An astonishing eight out of their ten games have been decided by seven points or fewer. Their methods may be chaotic, but the Chargers are 6-4 and could strengthen their grip on a playoff spot in the coming weeks if they scoop a few wins.
