This week 17 matchup features AFC West division rivals, the Los Angeles Chargers and the Denver Broncos. The AFC West is one of the only divisions left in the NFL that has not been clinched. The Chargers can win the division by defeating the Broncos and hoping that the Raiders can upset the Chiefs. Due to division record, if both the Chargers and Chiefs lose their week 17 games then Kansas City will clinch the AFC West.

The Chargers actually lost to Denver earlier this season on their home turf. They will be looking for a season split and to win the AFC West on the Broncos home field.
Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers missed a golden opportunity to put themselves in the drivers seat for the AFC West. This happened when they failed to beat the Baltimore Ravens. While it is true they will play in the post season no matter the result, they will surely want a home field advantage for at least one game.
The biggest question mark will be which Chargers team will show up for this final game. Will it be the Chargers who struggled against the Ravens and only managed to put up 10 points? Or will it be be the Chargers team that came back to beat the Chiefs by means of a two-point conversion. Phillip Rivers will be a major factor in determining this game. If he turns the ball over to a good Denver defense they will be in trouble. If he has another high completion game, they will likely be fine.

Despite a questionable outing against the Ravens, the Chargers have a top 10 defense in nearly every stat. Lucky for them, Denver is struggling to put points on the board, so the Chargers will have a favorable matchup. Look for the Chargers to focus on stopping the run and forcing Case Keenum to beat them through the air.
Denver Broncos
Denver has had an up and down season pulling off some good wins, but also dropping some close games. They will at best finish 8-8 pending the result from their Monday Night game against the Oakland Raiders. At the very least, Denver has continued to build their defense and will need to a few more pieces offensively to compete next season.
The Broncos have found their running back going forward in Phillip Lindsey. He has led them to average 123.2 rushing yards per game, which ranks 9th in the league. Keenum will be the key to this game and if he can avoid turning the ball over, their defense will keep them in this contest.

In terms of total yards, passing yards and rushing yards, the Denver defense does not look good at all. But looking at their points allowed per game sees them in the top 10. If Denver uses this bend but don’ break mentality, they will at the very least give their offense a chance to hang with the Chargers.
