Broncos vs. Chargers Spread

Early lines for the Week 3 Broncos at Chargers game have Denver as a 1.5-point underdog. These odds will change once the season is underway. In Denver's first matchup against Los Angeles last season, Denver was 2-point underdogs, the Broncos covered the spread.

Broncos vs. Chargers Moneyline

Being that the Chargers are favored on the spread, they are moneyline favorites here as well. We can convert the moneyline odds for Chargers vs Broncos to an implied probability for each team to win, which comes out to a 54.6% chance for Los Angeles (-120) and a 50.0% chance for Denver (+100).

Broncos vs. Chargers Over/Under

The total for the Week 3 matchup between Denver and Los Angeles is 44.5, but we expect this number to fluctuate until the game. This means over bettors would need at least 45 combined points, while under bettors need 44 or fewer points. The Broncos and Chargers combined for a total of 39 points in their first meeting of the 2024 season.

Broncos-Chargers Rivalry

The Broncos-Chargers rivalry dates back to 1960 when both teams first belonged to the AFL Western Conference. And the two have been in the AFC West since the AFL-NFL Merger in 1966. 

The Broncos lead the rivalry all-time at a margin of 73-57-1, and hold leads over Los Angeles in the NFL regular season and NFL postseason at 1-0. The Chargers only led the AFL regular season rivalry in the 1960s at a 15-5 margin. 

The rivalry had been in favor of the Broncos at 5-3 in the early 2020s, including several low-scoring affairs in the 2023-24 season. But things took a turn in the 2024-25 season when the Chargers swept the Broncos.

We expect the two to split the series in the upcoming season. Week 18 will be a toss-up as it will be the last game of the season and will most likely have playoff implications.
