Allowing only 192.4 yards per game and 18 passing TDs, they are in position to win the AFC&rsquo;s No.1 seed and while the Chargers are excellent on the offensive end, they are missing a bunch of players including Omarion Hampton, Keenan Allen, Derius Davis, Khalil Mack, and Kimani Vidal, which could cripple the Chargers&rsquo; offense, ultimately leading to less than 163.5 yards. Their QB Trey Lance has also not started a single game this season and has never crossed even 50 passing yards so far, which makes this a great bet. <\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Bet #2: R.J. Harvey under 56.5 rushing yards <\/h3><p>R.J. Harvey has only four games beyond 56.5 yards this season and has not yet crossed 100 plus yards in his career. He averages 3.9 rushing yards per attempt and 8.2 attempts per game, which indicates that he does not get a lot of touches in a single game. Also, the Chargers have an excellent rushing defense that only allows 104.7 yards per game, which makes us believe this is a reasonable bet. <\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Player Props to Target

Courtland Sutton is the go-to receiver for the team and has recorded 2 TDs in the last three games, with significant increase in touches over the last four games with 10 or more receptions in each game. <\/p><p>Similarly, rookie RB RJ Harvey has been utilized as a red-zone threat this season with 3 rushing TDs and a receiving TD in the last four games. With the Chargers missing majority of the players both on the offensive and the defensive side of the field, this is a safe bet. <\/p><p>Bo Nix is a threat to score at any time as he&rsquo;s recorded 6 passing TDs in his last three games, and he&rsquo;s also contributed a rushing touchdowns going against the Chiefs last week. With the Chargers&rsquo; passing defense missing majority of the players from their lineup, this is a great bet.<\/p><blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DTF9DoijdbE\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Part of that is the increased volume of targets that he&rsquo;s been getting with 10 or more in the last four games. He also recorded a 113 yards performance against the Packers, which makes us believe that 50+ yards in this game is probable.<\/p><p>Bo Nix has only recorded 2 or more passing TDs in 6 of 17 games this season and is not exactly an explosive offensive player. The Broncos are more likely to jump out to an early lead and control the clock in this game, making it likely that Nix stays under 1.5 TDs. The Chargers rank 7th in the league this season in scoring defense allowing 20.1 points per game, making this a great bet. <\/p><p>Trey Lance under 0.5 passing touchdowns is likely as he is making his first start this season and has not recorded a touchdown since the 2021 season. The Broncos have one of the best defensive units in the league, and have little to no flaws in their defense, which could likely give Lance a tough day at the office, making this a safe bet.
