NFL Week 16 Pick ‘Em: Can Chargers Pull Out Against Upstart Broncos?

A few more teams punched their tickets to the postseason last weekend.

The Minnesota Vikings clinched a spot when the Seattle Seahawks lost, the Pittsburgh Steelers pounced when the Miami Dolphins and Indianapolis Colts lost, and the Houston Texans clinched the AFC South with their win and the Colts’ loss.

Who else can clinch this weekend? We look forward to week 16 odds. Below you will find my picks against the spread using lines from BetMGM online sports book.

Denver Broncos vs. Los Angeles Chargers

These two teams played earlier this season, with the Chargers winning by seven. I’ll take the Broncos and get three points on the road this time.

The Chargers were demolished by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week. While I don’t think Broncos quarterback Bo Nix throws as well as Baker Mayfield, Denver’s defense, which leads the league in sacks, will slow down the Chargers enough to keep pace.

PICK: Broncos +2.5 (-105)
