Chargers at Chiefs picks and predictions
Prediction
Chiefs 27, Chargers 20
Moneyline
While the Chiefs should defeat the Chargers, I’ll PASS on their moneyline at the current odds (-250).
Against the spread
CHIEFS -5.5 (-110) is an intriguing bet with QB Justin Herbert seemingly limited with his finger injury and without C Corey Linsley. We also get QB Patrick Mahomes taking on a Chargers defense that is ranked 24th in defensive DVOA.
The Chargers are 1-3-1 ATS compared to the Chiefs being 4-2 ATS this season. Kansas City is also 2-1 ATS in its 3 home games thus far.
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 48 (-110).
Even though Mahomes is taking the field, this Chiefs defense isn’t getting enough credit for how it’s performed in the first 6 weeks. Kansas City’s defense is allowing only 14.7 points per game (2nd-fewest in the NFL).
The Chiefs are still figuring things out at the wide receiver position, and these teams are a combined 4-7 to the Over this season.
