Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAWe say relatively close because the Broncos are no 8-1 and have been dominating competition, so an eight point loss isn’t all that bad, though the Chargers are now under .500 because of said loss. Miami’s loss to Tampa Bay was embarrassing because the Buccaneers are simply a mess right now, and were winless heading into their prime time matchup.
That said, the Dolphins did open as narrow favorites over the Chargers at home. They opened as 1.5-point favorites, though the line has shifted in favor of the Chargers, according to OddsShark. The Chargers can be had favored by as much as 2.5 points, and that could widen further throughout the week.
