Kansas City Chiefs vs. Los Angeles Chargers
(at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City)
TV: 8:15 p.m. ET Monday, ESPN
Records: Chiefs 6-4, Chargers 4-6
Line: Chiefs by 4½
Chiefs’ keys: QB Patrick Mahomes will have TE Travis Kelce to carve up the middle of the field, an area the Chargers have struggled to cover, and WRs Tyreek Hill and Mecole Hardman to beat defenders over the top with their track speed.
Chargers’ keys: The Chargers might be forced to rely on RBs Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler to lead their offense. On defense, Los Angeles must keep Mahomes from connecting with his plethora of targets with a top-notch pass rush led by Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram.
Who wins? The Chiefs are looking to run away with the AFC West and they have the talent on both sides of the ball to guide them. Chiefs 28, Chargers 20
