Here at Pickswise we have put together a list of all of the day’s best odds boosts, which are available from PointsBet Sportsbook. We will also discuss whether or not they are worth playing. Let’s dive in.

Justin Herbert 2+ passing touchdowns and Los Angeles Chargers to win – Boosted from +105 to +120 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need Justin Herbert to throw at least 2 touchdown passes and the Los Angeles Chargers to beat the Denver Broncos tonight. Herbert has been solid this season, having thrown a total of 10 touchdown passes in 5 games. He has thrown at least 2 in 3 of the 5 games. The Broncos have certainly had issues this season both offensively, and at times defensively. Our experts like the Broncos to cover tonight, however, asking Herbert to record at least 2 passing touchdowns is not too much to ask and the Chargers are still the better team, making a win likely. For that reason, backing this prop looks to be worth a play.

Austin Ekeler 100+ rushing + receiving yards and the Los Angeles Chargers to win – Boosted from +130 to +150 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop will need Austin Ekeler to record at least 100 rushing + receiving yards and the Los Angeles Chargers will need to beat the Denver Broncos tonight. Ekeler has had a solid start to the season, recording 313 rushing yards so far this season and 214 receiving yards. Last week alone, he rushed for 173 yards and should have success tonight as well against a Broncos’ defense that has struggled to stop the run. He has recorded at least 100+ total yards in just 2 of the 5 games this season, but they have both come in the last 2 weeks. Our experts would lean to the Broncos to cover, but a Chargers win is more likely, so backing Ekeler to have another huge game looks to be worth a play.

Courtland Sutton 75+ receiving yards and Denver Broncos – Boosted from +400 to +550 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need Courtland Sutton to record at least 75 receiving yards and the Denver Broncos to beat the Los Angeles Chargers tonight. Sutton has 417 yards receiving this season, and has gone over 75 yards in just 2 games this season. He was close to this number in 2 other games, but the Broncos’ offense has not been trustworthy at all this season. Our experts like the Broncos to cover, however; this prop would need them to win, which seems unlikely. For that reason, avoiding this prop looks to be the best option.
