Denver is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games and 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 Monday games. The under is 5-0 in Denver’s last 5 Monday games. Los Angeles is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games and 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 October games. The over is 5-1 in Los Angeles’ last 6 home games. The home team is 5-0 ATS in these two teams last 5 head to head meetings.
Denver has been a mess this season and will have to travel to play Los Angeles on Monday night. The Chargers have won two games in a row, but their defense has not been very good. The Los Angeles offense has been playing well, but will face a good Denver defense. I like the Chargers in this game, especially with how Denver has played this season.
