The Chargers opponent this week is the Broncos who own one of the league’s stingiest defenses. Through week 11, Denver allows an average of just 18.3 points per game. That’s good for third in the NFL behind only the Patriots (16.1) and Bills (17.6).
However, on the other side of the ball, the Broncos aren’t scoring much more than what they’re allowing. Their current average of 20.0 points scored per game puts them in the bottom 10 of NFL offenses. So although points may come at a premium on Sunday, I definitely like the Chargers’ chances in anything that resembles a shootout.
