I know that I'm in Florida on a family trip right now. I know that because I know where I am and who is with me. But dammit, we need action tonight. We just do. Lucky for us, we've got the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers getting it on in the City of Angels. No matter what happened yesterday, we have a chance to erase it or add to it. For some of us, this is the difference between being up or down. Right or wrong. Good or bad. The beauty is, all we have to do is find a move that has no chance of losing and pounce on it. I feel like we can do that because I found a play that has no chance of losing. Feels right.

Los Angeles Chargers vs. Denver Broncos Player Prop Pick
KJ Hamler Over 20.5 Receiving Yards (-120) (Bet $120 to collect $100)
*Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing*
I know what you're thinking. You don't want to pay -120 for this. You're in good company because I don't either. We have to though because this is the best number and price on any board. To be fair, BetMGM has the exact same price so you can play there. FanDuel hasn't posted anything on this guy so I'm not sure what's going on with them. Hopefully, they'll come to their senses soon and give us something to smash.
Los Angeles Chargers vs. Denver Broncos Player Prop Pick Prediction
The bad news with this one is KJ Hamler has only caught two passes this season. That's not that bad when you consider the fact that he's only been targeted four times. The good news is, one of his catches went for 55 yards. Even more good news is he played 53% of the snaps last week which is his second-highest total on the season. We're making progress here people.
I think we could be getting a nice little buy-low opportunity on this guy. That's what the streets call this bet. After that dreadful Thursday night loss to the Indianapolis Colts last time out, the Broncos have to be doing some soul-searching. We're talking about long looks in the mirror and maybe even long looks at film. One thing that they will see when they look at the film is that KJ Hamler is running wide open. I'd be shocked if he doesn't see more targets tonight than he's seen all season.
Being targeted is one thing but turning those targets into actual yards that will cash our bets is another thing. I think this is a decent spot. Keep in mind we only need 21 yards here people. Hamler can get that on one catch. Especially since the Chargers should be able to score on the Broncos' defense. Game script helps. Speed guys like Mecole Hardman and Brandin Cooks have both given Los Angeles trouble this season. Again, we only need 21 yards from Hamler here people. I think he gets it.
