Denver is a 3.5-point road favorite at Qualcomm Stadium at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The Chargers have lost each of their last five games to the Broncos by at least seven points.
Last Sunday, the Broncos saw a 4-0 SU and ATS start to the season and a 9-0 SU win streak come to an end at the hands of the Atlanta Falcons. Denver's defense played well in limiting Atlanta's high-powered offense to only 23 points, but the offense had its lowest output of the season at only 16 points.
Early reports indicate that Trevor Siemian will be a game-time decision for Thursday night's game after missing Sunday's game against Atlanta. Rookie Paxton Lynch would start again if Siemian is unable to go.
The Broncos have absolutely dominated their division foes on the road in recent years with a 15-0 SU and 14-1 ATS record in their last 15 road games against AFC West teams, per the OddsShark NFL Database.
Betting Line / Total: Denver -3.5 / 45.5 Points
Trend: The Chargers are 3-12 ATS in their last 15 games at home.
Trend: The Broncos are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games against their division.

In their last 15 games at home, the Chargers are 6-9 SU and 3-12 ATS. There is a sharp contrast in this game between the Broncos, who always seem to find a way to win games, and the Chargers, who have consistently shown an inability to do so.
