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.The Broncos pass defense has shown weak efficiency vs. wideouts this year, surrendering 8.97 adjusted yards-per-target to the position: the 6th-most in the NFL.The Denver Broncos pass defense has not been good when opposing WRs have gotten into space, allowing an average of 5.75 yards-after-the-catch this year: the most in football.As it relates to linebackers in defending pass-catchers, Denver's unit has been lousy this year, profiling as the worst in the league.
