PRIME TIME PICK: Chargers put Broncos playoff clinching plans on hold in low-scoring game

Article content

DENVER BRONCOS (9-5) at LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (8-6)

LINE: Los Angeles by 2.5

Winners of four straight, the Broncos are looking to clinch their first playoff berth since their 2015 Super Bowl season. They also are a league-best 11-3-0 ATS this season. Meanwhile, Jim Harbaugh’s teams generally cover after a loss and last week’s 40-17 pounding from the Bucs was a rare exception. Justin Herbert was not himself because of an ankle sprain, however — and while he was limited at practice this week — expect him to rise to the occasion here, with the return of LB Denzel Perryman from a four-game injury absence bolstering the home side. I jumped on the Chargers when the line slipped from 3, while also appealing is the under (42) as the teams are tied for the lowest points-allowed average in the league at 17.6

TAKING: LOS ANGELES -2.5

Chargers 17, Broncos 14
