  • Denver Broncos are 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings

  • Los Angeles Chargers won 23-16 when the two teams last met on October 13

Denver Broncos Form

Denver head out on the road for the next two games looking to extend a four-game win streak that has them on course for the playoffs.

The Broncos opened the season with back-to-back defeats, but rallied with five wins in their next six games.

Their form stalled at the start of November, albeit against tough opposition on the road as they lost 41-10 in Baltimore and 16-14 at Kansas City.

Denver have not lost since November 10 though, with a 38-6 blowout of Atlanta at home sparking a four-game tear.

The Broncos then won 29-19 in Las Vegas, before returning home to down Cleveland 41-32 and Indianapolis 31-13.

Los Angeles Chargers Form

Los Angeles go into this Thursday night matchup in need of a victory, having now lost three of their last four games.

The Chargers opened the season with back-to-back wins, but quickly cooled off as they lost three of their next four games to slip to 3-3.

A 26-8 win over New Orleans kicked-started their season though, as they then beat Cleveland 27-10, Tennessee 27-17 and Cincinnati 34-27.

Los Angeles’ run was ended by a 30-23 defeat to Baltimore, only for them to respond with a 17-13 victory in Atlanta.

The Chargers have not won since though, losing 19-17 in Kansas City before returning home for a 40-17 defeat to Tampa Bay.
