The Los Angeles Chargers (0-1) are getting 8.5 points as they host the Kansas City Chiefs (1-0) for its first game in SoFi Stadium, Sunday, at 4:25 p.m. ET. Below, we take a look at the early Week 2 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.
Kansas City beat the brakes off of the Houston Texans 34-20 in the 2020 NFL Kickoff game last Thursday. It was a pretty flawless performance from the defending Super Bowl champions: Pat Mahomes tossed three touchdown passes, one apiece to Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce and Sammy Watkins, while rookie RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire added 138 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown.
Los Angeles held off the host Cincinnati Bengals 16-13 in Week 1. The defense was key to the Chargers’ win: LA held Cincinnati to 4.4 yards per play and forced two turnovers.
