The Broncos may have won Nix' first Thursday Night Football appearance in a blowout, however that was mostly due to the performance of the defense and special teams. Nix went just 16-of-26 for a measly 164 yards with a 79.6 quarterback rating. Don't expect those numbers to improve against a stingy Chargers defense. Per Caesars Sportsbook, Nix passing yardage prop is set at 223.5 yards.
While Justin Herbert has thrown for nearly 300 yards per game on Thursday's in three outings. If you believe that continues tonight, Herbert's 230.5 passing yards is great player prop to target.
