Chargers vs. Broncos odds, prediction, time, line: 2024 Thursday Night Football picks from model on 27-11 run

Teams in the 2024 NFL playoff picture meet when the Denver Broncos face the Los Angeles Chargers in a key AFC West matchup on Thursday Night Football. Denver is coming off a 31-13 win over the Indianapolis Colts, while Los Angeles dropped a 40-17 decision to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Broncos (9-5), who have won four in a row, can clinch a playoff spot with a victory. The Chargers (8-6), who have dropped two straight, can move closer to a berth in the NFL playoff picture with a win. Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II will return after leaving last week’s game with a leg injury.

Kickoff from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., is set for 8:15 p.m. ET. The Chargers are 2.5-point favorites in the latest Chargers vs. Broncos odds from the SportsLine Consensus, down a half-point from the opener, while the over/under for total points scored is 41, down one from the opening line.
