The Denver Broncos visit the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday night on Prime Video. Both teams are likely headed to the playoffs as Wild Card teams, but each team would still like to clinch as soon as possible. The Broncos can do that if they can win this game on Thursday night. The Chargers are listed as a 3.5-point favorite at PROLINE+ with a total of 42.5. The Broncos come into this game with a record of 9-5 SU and 11-3 ATS with nine games going over the total and five going under, while the Chargers are 8-6 SU and 9-5 ATS with five games going over the total and nine going under. Thursday Night Football can oftentimes be unpredictable, but I have had some decent success with these Thursday Night Same Game Parlays. Let’s look at NFL odds at PROLINE+ and Broncos vs. Chargers Same Game Parlay Picks.

Reduced juice betting is one of the best ways for any sports bettor to save money and far too many people don’t take advantage of it. If you are not playing at a sportsbook that offers reduced juice betting then you are simply giving away money.
Denver Broncos
The Broncos are averaging 24 points per game which is 11th in the league and they are giving up just 17.6 points per contest which is 2nd in the NFL. Javonte Williams leads the team in rushing with 461 yards, Bo Nix has thrown for 2,972 yards, while Courtland Sutton leads the team in receiving with 878 yards. The Broncos can clinch a playoff spot on Thursday with a win over the Chargers. “It’s a great opportunity that’s ahead of us,” wide receiver Courtland Sutton said to the media, “I haven’t been able to even sniff it (playoff spot), and to be in a position to know that if we finish strong we can better our seeding in the playoffs is an amazing feeling. We’ve got a nice little stretch coming up. Some really good games coming up.”
Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers are averaging 21 points per game which ranks just 21st in the league and they are giving up 17.6 points per contest which is 3rd in the NFL. J.K. Dobbins still leads the team in rushing with 766 yards even though he is out for the season due to injury. Justin Herbert has thrown for 2,959 yards, while Ladd McConkey leads the team with 873 receiving yards. This is a huge game for the Chargers and despite losing their last two games, safety Derwin James is supremely confident. “120% confidence,” James said to the media, “I can sleep good at night knowing that I have confidence in the men in the locker room and the coaches.”
Broncos vs. Chargers Series
Denver has won six of the last 10 against Los Angeles and they are 7-2-1 ATS with five games going over the total and five going under. The Chargers won 23-16 in Denver in mid-October. The Chargers have won three of the last four at home in this series, but they are 1-3 ATS. Three of those four games went under the total.
Broncos at Chargers Same Game Parlay Pick
This seems like it is a must-win game for the Chargers but in reality, it is not. The Chargers can lose this game and still make the playoffs by winning their last two games against the Patriots and Raiders. How many times have we seen teams that needed to win fall flat? This should be a game that the Chargers get up for and win at home, but I don’t trust them. Perhaps if this game was a pick, I would consider taking Los Angeles, but I am not laying points with the Chargers. I’ll take the 3.5 points and go with the Broncos. Neither of these offenses has been impressive, so I will also take the game under the total.
