Today’s game between the Chargers and Broncos will feature the type of matchup everyone yearns for in Week 17 of the NFL season: a battle between backup quarterbacks.
You heard that right. A duel between two players with nothing to lose and only everything to gain.
As of Sunday morning, the Chargers are still 3.5-point underdogs (per DraftKings Sportsbook) on the road in Denver. The move to bench Russell Wilson for Jarrett Stidham only moved the line from 5.5 to 3.5, meaning the folks Las Vegas aren’t too high on the Bolts’ chances today, no matter who is quarterbacking the Broncos.
