Strong Opinion – Under (47) – LA Chargers (-3) vs DENVER

Justin Herbert has attempted only two passes at least 20 yards downfield over the past three games and that is unlikely to change after the Chargers put up 41 points using the dink-and-dunk strategy last week. However, Kyle Fuller is allowing only 0.59 yards per cover snap in the slot, and he will take away the underneath routes by Keenan Allen, who is averaging 2.00 yards per route run (14th). Pro Bowl edge defender Bradley Chubb will be back on the field after only playing 19 snaps this season and he could line up across from RT Storm Norton, who ranks 46th in pass blocking efficiency out of 51 qualifying tackles. Chubb had 57 pressures last year (7th).

The Broncos are likely without both starting tackles and I think they will try to take the ball out of Teddy Bridgewater’s hands with Pro Bowl DE Joey Bosa (44 pressures) bearing down on him all game. The Chargers rush defense ranks 31st and Denver knows they need to pound the rock as Los Angeles will be without interior defender Linval Joseph, who has 20 run stops (5th). Running the ball runs the clock, which helps the under here.

Our model favors the Chargers by 0.6 points with a predicted total of 44.1 points and the Under is a Strong Opinion at 47 points or more.
