Chargers open up as huge underdogs to Chiefs in Week 17

The Los Angeles Chargers are looking to be huge spoilers in the last game of the 2019 regular season.

The Los Angeles Chargers (5-10) have opened up as 8.5-point underdogs to the Kansas City Chiefs (11-4) in Week 17 of the regular season, per BetMGM.

The Chargers lost their most recent meeting to the Oakland Raiders, which dropped their division record to 0-5. No running game and an outmatched defense made it difficult for Los Angeles to pull away with a victory in their last game played at Dignity Health Sports Park.

The Chiefs are coming off a nearly blowout victory over the Chicago Bears, 26-3. The Bears had no answer for Kansas City’s high-powered offense, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce.

Looking ahead to this weekend’s matchup, Los Angeles is hoping to avoid going winless in division play. Meanwhile, Kansas City is playing to win despite having the AFC West locked up, as they have a chance for a first-round bye.

The Chiefs have had the Chargers’ number, winning nine of their last 10 meetings.

Who’s favored in Chargers vs. Vikings?

The Minnesota Vikings have opened up as 2.5-point favorites over the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Los Angeles Chargers have opened up as 2.5-point home underdogs to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 15, per BetMGM.

The Chargers are coming off their biggest victory of the season yet, as they rolled over the Jacksonville Jaguars last Sunday by the score of 45-10.

Meanwhile, the Vikings picked up their ninth victory of the season by taking care of business against the Lions, 20-7.

Los Angeles showed some life last weekend, particularly on the offensive side of the ball, which is an area that they have struggled in this season.

Minnesota is well-balanced on both sides of the ball and should benefit even more with getting wide receiver Adam Thielen back after missing consecutive games with an injury.

Though the Bolts are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, it’s expected that they could play spoiler this weekend with nearly everyone on the roster finally healthy in the final leg of the season.

Chargers open up as 4.5-point underdogs to Chiefs

The Los Angeles Chargers have opened up as home underdogs to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11.

The Los Angeles Chargers (4-6) opened up as 4.5-point underdogs to the Kansas City Chiefs (6-4) heading into their Week 11 matchup.

The Chargers are coming off a loss to the Oakland Raiders (5-4), which was a result of a poor offensive output and lack of execution when the game was on the line.

Meanwhile, the Chiefs also lost their Week 10 bout. After the Tennessee Titans clawed their way back into the contest to take the lead, Kansas City was relying on kicker Harrison Butker to tie up the game and send it to overtime. Unfortunately, his 52-yard field goal was blocked as time expired.

Los Angeles needs to win this game in order to keep their playoff hopes alive, while Kansas City is hoping to dig themselves out of a slump after dropping their last four out of six games.
