The NFL Week 5 slate features several awesome divisional rivalries, including one in LA during the late afternoon window. Even if the Los Angeles Chargers have been letting you down much of this season, a matchup with the Denver Broncos is always exciting. Along with the strong starts of the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders, the AFC West has a ton of storylines, so let’s add to them all with our best Broncos vs. Chargers predictions for Week 5.

We know that fans in LA and plenty of other locations still can’t make Broncos vs. Chargers picks with legal sports betting like Denver, so we’ve also shared how to claim a GUARANTEED Kalshi promo code bonus!

🔥 Broncos vs. Chargers Predictions for NFL Week 5, Sunday, 10/11

What is going on with Justin Herbert and the Chargers? That is the question a ton of fans are asking right now, and not just those in LA. We’re not saying that losing to the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks on the road is panic-worthy, but starting 0-4 sure is. Not only that, but we saw Herbert get blasted in the fourth quarter of their loss.

It was a roughing the passer penalty, but that doesn’t take away from the shot he took, and we’ll be remembering that for any Broncos vs. Chargers predictions. He manned up, but it just wasn’t enough, and now they get a Denver team that was nearly on the opposite side of the Seahawks in last year’s Super Bowl but are coming off a loss themselves.

Either way, it’s all about cashing NFL expert picks right now. These teams know each other well, and as divisional rivals, it means that we also have recent matchups to consider. With those plus this year’s performances and recent injuries (like Pat Surtain), we can lock in a best bet from our Broncos vs. Chargers predictions for Week 5!

🏅 Broncos vs. Chargers Expert Pick: Under 43.5 Points (Use Kalshi To Trade On Anything)

The aforementioned Pat Surtain injury is absolutely a massive blow to the Denver defense, but we’re still going to take the “obvious” approach for this game. It’s why we see quite a low total, and frankly, we wouldn’t have been surprised if it’s closer to starting with a three by kickoff. So, we still see enough value for our Broncos vs. Chargers predictions.

An under is the first thought when seeing these two teams matched up with one another, as it’s been their stronger unit for multiple seasons now. Denver’s defense is what carried them to the AFC Championship Game last season, and after we hit a longshot TD pick on the D/ST to score, how could we not support them with our Broncos vs. Chargers picks?

Of course, that’s not the basis of our best bet. The bottom line is that LA has been the biggest disappointment this season, and perhaps the best illustration of their offensive woes was their game against the Buffalo Bills. They forced FIVE turnovers to capitalize on the Bills' VERY poor defense and…didn’t - they scored just 16 points in that 24-16 loss.

That score is important, because holding Josh Allen and company to 24 is equivalent to holding this Denver defense to sub-20, as they’ve scored more than that just once through four games. All that adds up to us locking in under 43.5 points (trade at Kalshi) as the best bet from our top Broncos vs. Chargers predictions for Week 5!
