Matchup Analysis
Denver needs a more reliable ground game
The Broncos managed only 82 rushing yards against San Francisco, and Sean Payton said they had not run the ball in the first half of any of their three games or consistently well enough. A more effective run game would take pressure off Bo Nix in this road matchup.
SourceWaddle gives Denver a late-game spark
Jaylen Waddle caught his first touchdown as a Bronco against San Francisco; Chris Biderman described it as a blown-coverage touchdown. Getting Waddle involved earlier could give Denver a steadier source of explosiveness.
SourceDenver's secondary could be tested
Denver's secondary could be tested after both corners were down entering the second half Sunday, leaving cornerback depth worth monitoring for the Chargers matchup.
SourceChargers' offensive availability bears watching
Several Chargers players exited Sunday's game with injuries, leaving their availability for Denver unsettled.
SourcePick Ideas
Broncos moneyline
Consider Denver's moneyline around -135; ESPN lists the Broncos as 2.5-point road favorites, so this avoids requiring a margin.
RJ Harvey receptions, if the number is reasonable
If RJ Harvey's receptions line is 4.5 or lower, lean over because he caught all 10 of his targets in Denver's most recent game; treat it as a workload-based lean rather than a play at a substantially higher number.
