Five NFL Bold Predictions For Thursday Night Football: Week 16

We have an AFC West divisional rivalry between the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers. Both teams currently hold down wild-card playoff spots in the AFC. However, the Chargers have begun to fade a little while the Broncos keep getting stronger. If the Broncos win this game, they will be almost a lock to make the playoffs, and the Chargers would not only be two games behind them for the 6th seed but likely only one game up on the teams below them when week 16 concludes. This is a must-win for the Chargers, who are going to need to find more consistency on offense if they want any chance of beating a good Denver defense. Here are five bold predictions for this TNF game in week 16!

Courtland Sutton has 100 yards and a TD

He is the number one pass catcher for the Broncos and Mike Evans just had a huge game against the Chargers defense.

Kimani Vidal has 80 all-purpose yards and a TD

He is a way better runner and pass catcher than Gus Edwards is at this point.

Bo Nix throws 3 TD passes

Baker Mayfield just did this against the Chargers, and Nix has been slinging it around lately.

Ladd McConkey makes 10 catches

The Chargers need to force-feed McConkey the football. He is by far their best playmaker on offense.

Javonte Williams rushes for 90 yards

He is the most trustworthy of the Broncos RBs.
