Week 16 in the NFL begins with a big AFC West matchup that has some playoff implications as the Denver Broncos take on the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Broncos enter the contest at 9-5 and occupy the sixth seed or second wild card spot in the AFC standings. Meanwhile, the Chargers are a game behind at 8-6 and clinging to the final playoff spot in the conference. Whichever team wins this game will have a significant advantage when it comes to next month’s seeding, as the winner will likely avoid the Buffalo Bills in the first round.

This is your place to discuss the game with other Las Vegas Raiders fans and your gambling tips as the following is provided by FanDuel Sportsbook.

Broncos vs. Chargers

• Dispersion: LAC -2.5
• O/U: 41.5
• LAC ML: -154
• DEN ML: +130

Owner’s recommendations: DEN +2.5, over 41.5, DEN ML

While the Chargers won the first game in Week 6, they have cooled off significantly since then. Los Angeles has lost three of its last four games (two in a row), with the only win coming against Atlanta, and the team was just destroyed by Tampa Bay last Sunday. Meanwhile, the Broncos are trending in the opposite direction with four straight wins. So I’m going with the hot hand here.

For the injury report, the Chargers noted that tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) and cornerback Cam Hart (concussion) are out, while cornerback Elijah Molden (knee) is questionable. The Broncos will be missing Riley Moss (knee) and running back Jaleel McLaughlin (quad).
