The Chargers have had an up-and-down season. After a strong start, they're now 8-6, coming off a tough loss to the Bucs. Defense has been a concern, especially with injuries. Their next game against the Denver Broncos (9-5) could be a big one. We chatted with an expert to get insights.
The Chargers were on a roll early but have struggled lately. They've lost key players on defense, making it tough to hold off top offenses. The secondary has been looking shaky. Cornerback Kristian Fulton, for example, got burned by Mike Evans. The pass rush wasn't there either, with stars like Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa not making much impact.
To win against Denver, the Chargers need to limit quarterback Bo Nix and boost their rushing game. They need to keep the pressure on when they've got a lead. In their last meeting, the Chargers let the Broncos back in the game. They couldn't keep their foot on the gas.
Our expert thinks a good bet is Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton scoring a touchdown. He seems to always get one against the Chargers. The spread favors the Chargers, but the expert isn't sure they can keep the momentum going on a short week.
The game is expected to be tight. The expert predicts a Chargers loss by a narrow margin, maybe 23-20.
