The Kansas City Chiefs have opened as road favorites over the Los Angeles Chargers on their upcoming “Sunday Night Football” game in Week 11.
According to Tipico Sportsbook, Kansas City (7-2) are 7-point favorites over Los Angeles (5-4) next Sunday. The over/under point total is set at 49.5 points scored. The money line is now -310 for the Chiefs, giving K.C. a 75.61% implied win probability. Keep in mind this Kansas City team is now 3-5-1 against the spread this season and they’re also 4-5 on the over/under point total.
It’s not too surprising to see Kansas City favored here. The Chargers haven’t scored more than 23 points in a game in over a month. They’re going to come into this game desperate for a win after dropping a winnable game to the 49ers in Week 10.
A loss could effectively eliminate Los Angeles from playoff contention or at the very least a shot at the AFC West lead. A win for the Chiefs would give them a three-game lead on the division with matchups with the Broncos (x2), Raiders and Texans in the final seven games of the season.
It’s unclear if the Chargers will have either Keenan Allen or Mike Williams available for this game, but the Chiefs could also be without Mecole Hardman and JuJu Smith-Schuster. It might come down to who has the better backup receivers when it comes to determining the winner of this pivotal AFC West matchup.
