Road Teams Hot When Chargers, Broncos Meet

The Denver Broncos and San Diego Chargers are no strangers to facing each other, but bettors shouldn’t put too much stock in home field advantage when they collide. Visiting teams have covered the spread in eight out of the last nine meetings between the Bolts and Broncos, and they’ll face off once again in California in Week 13.

Shark Bites
  • The total has gone UNDER in five of the Chargers' last seven games as underdogs.
  • The Broncos are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games after an ATS win.
  • The Broncos are 12-2 SU and 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games in December.

San Diego (3-8 SU, 4-7 ATS) has struggled to get anything going this season, so it shouldn’t be any surprise to know they’ve been a poor bet to string together wins. The Bolts are 0-4 SU and ATS in their last four games after a win (San Diego topped Jacksonville 31-25 last week).

To make matters worse, San Diego has historically been awful against their division, going 0-8 ATS in their last eight games against the AFC West.
