💪 Spread

In season 2020 the Bolts are 5-1 ATS (against the spread) while the Broncos are sitting at a 4-2 tally so both have been pretty reliable if you’ve thrown some pizza money on either team at the spread. That makes this one a little tougher to judge. Luckily for you, we have a supercomputer on our side to do the thinking for us! See the best bet for this market below.‍

🚀 Over/Under

Typically, these teams haven’t been huge scorers so it’s only natural the Over/Under in this one is a little light on. At the time of writing – and after running thousands and thousands of simulations – DimersBOT has the scores of this game going at 24-20 in favour of LAC. If the opening total points line of 44.5 holds, we’ll play the under.‍

While Jayden Collins is primarily a graphic designer, he has been involved in the world of sports betting for almost 10 years and knows his way around a player prop or 10. When Jayden's not looking for the next best longshot single to bet on, you can find him playing Australian rules football for the Canterbury Cobras or sipping a Japanese single malt or blended whisky. Jayden experienced the lowest point of his betting career in June 2022, when he cashed out of a Golden State Warriors futures bet he placed at the beginning of the 2021-22 NBA season after hearing of Steph Curry's injury woes midway through the year. He gave up what would have been a $200 win in exchange for a measly $2.50 profit. A keen NBA and NFL fan, Jayden often spends his nights watching sports while nursing a glass of Suntory Toki Whisky and riding home a 5-leg parlay. Jayden lives and dies by "Our Boy Herb" and the Los Angeles Chargers, but is also a Chicago Bulls fan thanks to his dad's obsession with Michael Jordan.
