The Chargers threw in a stinker against the Texans in Week 17. Cautious folks, because Houston has a powerhouse defense that can wreck anyone. The Broncos were tested at Arrowhead by a Patrick Mahomes-less Chiefs. What is concerning about that is that it was after a loss to Jacksonville.
Denver is the AFC West champion and is giving the Bolts 7.5 points in NFL Week 18 odds, with the total at 40 points. Important to watch how Jim Harbaugh decides to tackle this game. Will Justin Herbert play or be given the week off to heal? Either way, the spread seems way too big.
- Pick: Chargers +7.5 points
