Chargers vs Broncos: AI Prediction - NFL Picks for Todays Game

Jim Harbaugh takes his Chargers out to Denver to face off against Sean Payton and the Broncos. Learn how I use predictive models and AI to make my AI Sports Betting Prediction. 

Preview of Los Angeles Chargers vs Denver Broncos AI Picks 

The Denver Broncos host the Chargers in a clash of AFC West contenders. This game could have playoff implications down the road as both LA and Denver are in early contention for an AFC Wild Card. 

Read how this AI-Powered NFL Prediction uses artificial intelligence and predictive models to guide my sports wagering decision. 

Los Angeles Chargers 

The Chargers (2-2) enter week six coming off an early season bye that was well needed. 

In LA’s week four loss to the Chiefs, they were missing the following players: 

• Joey Bosa (DE)
• Joe Alt (OL)
• Derwin James Jr (Safety)

Bosa is still questionable to return but things are looking promising for Alt to be back in the lineup. James will return from a one-game suspension for a hard hit in week three. 

Having these players back is a factor in my Los Angeles Chargers vs Denver Broncos AI Prediction. 

The Chargers did perform well in week four without those key players and with a banged-up QB Justin Herbert. Falling short 17-10 to the Chiefs and covering the spread. 

Denver Broncos 

The Broncos (3-2) are suddenly red-hot! After starting the season 0-2 they have ripped off three straight wins. 

QB Bo Nix deserves part of the credit for the winning streak. After throwing two interceptions in each of the Bronco's first two games, he has made sure to keep the ball out of the defense’s hands. 

Nix’s improved play is a factor in my Chargers vs Broncos AI-fueled prediction. 

How I use Rithmm models for my Los Angeles Chargers vs Denver Broncos AI Prediction

Rithmm is making waves in the sports wagering world. With predictive models powered by AI, their users are cashing tickets. 

In week five Rithmm users had an overall ROI of 8.9% with moneyline bettors finishing with an ROI of 30.4 and total bettors coming in with a ROI of 11.1%. 

Rithmm allows users to minimize a minimum of three models or you can have the data scientists do their thing and they will build them for you. 

For NFL models they utilize the below factors to produce their game predictions. 

Not only does Rithmm provide models, but they also have plenty of stats and trends. It's super convenient and you don’t have to leave the app to find important data. 

The following trends/stats were pulled from the Rithmm application. 

• Chargers 3-2 ATS L5
• Broncos 4-1 ATS L5
• Chargers 2-0 ATS L5 as the favorite
• Broncos 3-1 ATS L5 as a dog 

Current betting odds: 

• Chargers -3
• Total: 35.5

Normally home teams are favored by three points when making the spread, this line shouts that the bookmakers think the Chargers should win this game easily. 

The problem for me, is Jim Harbaugh. Coach Harbaugh is an excellent coach who will lead the Chargers to many victorious seasons but right now they do not have enough offensive talent. 

Justin Herbert is a talented QB but he simply does not have the wide receivers necessary for this offense to excel. 

On the other hand, Bo Nix is showing why Sean Payton wanted to draft him so high and made the rookie the starting QB. He is improving his play and not giving the ball away. 

I do not feel comfortable with a play on the spread. Instead, I’m leaning towards the Denver team total over 16.5 points. They have gone over this number three of the five games they played this year.
