Chargers vs. Chiefs Odds
Game Preview
Justin Herbert is suffering a lot. He absorbed 10 hits and 4 sacks against the Seahawks and, a week later, 5 sacks and 6 hits in a 23-17 home loss to the Denver Broncos.
Now, the smart thing to do for the Chargers, who pretty much wasted this season, would be to start the rebuild right away and save their top star from a potential injury. But we haven’t seen the LAC do anything smart for a while.
Chiefs are coming off a bye week. They are 4-0 and look monstrous. This team finally has a dominant running back, and his name is Kenneth Walker III. This guy averages the most rushing yards per game in the NFL – 134.3.
The defense limits rivals to just 19.2 ppg, 7th in the league, so the Chiefs have one of the highest point differentials this season: 10.3. They are emerging as one of the biggest Super Bowl contenders.
Chargers vs. Chiefs Predictions
The Chiefs won’t show any mercy to their divisional rivals here. Full speed ahead to cover the spread.
