The Denver Broncos have one game left to play and then it will be all head coach search all the time on Mile High Report. We’ve already begun and are tracking all of the head coaching news and rumors as we head into that period. First, they must vanquish the Los Angeles Chargers at home.

This is a very winnable game for the Broncos and a chance to finish the season on a high note. The Chargers will likely be resting a lot of their starters as they prepare for the postseason, which means the talent level should be a little more even given how injury-plagued the Broncos are this season.

Here’s how to watch.

Broncos-Chargers Betting Odds

According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Broncos open 3-point underdogs. However, the likelihood that the Chargers will be resting key starters for the playoffs has flipped that to a 3-point advantage for the home team. It would be nice for Denver to head into the offseason with a rare victory.

Fan Sentiment

Broncos fans are continuing their upswing in confidence in this franchise. The firing of Nathaniel Hackett kicked things off, but a really strong performance against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17 also helped keep up the momentum. If only the refs hadn’t called that nonexistent offensive pass interference on Courtland Sutton.
