The Chargers are 3.5-point favorites over the Chiefs in Week 18 of the 2023 regular season. The over/under is 35 points, per BetMGM Sportsbook.
That means oddsmakers are taking bets on whether the two teams will combine to score more than or fewer than 35 points.
My score prediction for the game is a 20-17 win for the Chiefs, with a combined total of 37 points. So if I were putting money behind my prediction, I’d bet the over.
As for game picks, most analysts are picking Kansas City to win.
