Accounting for their underlying propensities and matchup dynamics, the predictive model expects the Los Angeles Chargers to pass on 60.5% of their opportunities: the 7th-greatest clip among all teams this week.Calm weather conditions (like the 0-mph wind being predicted in this game) typically mean better passing effectiveness, increased touchdown potential, increased air attack volume, and lower ground volume.This week, Justin Herbert is projected by the predictive model to total the 6th-most pass attempts among all quarterbacks with 36.3. This year, the poor Broncos defense has allowed a massive 73.9% Adjusted Completion Rate to opposing quarterbacks: the 6th-biggest rate in the NFL.As it relates to linebackers in defending pass-catchers, Denver's unit has been lousy this year, profiling as the worst in the league.
