Los Angeles Chargers vs. Kansas City Chiefs Prediction
The Chargers enter this game with a 2-3 record on the season.
Los Angeles most recently lost a hard-fought Monday Night game vs the Dallas Cowboys.
The Chargers feel as if they are better than their 2-3 record suggests.
Former Oregon standout Justin Herbert leads this Chargers offense.
Herbert has thrown for 1,333 yards, nine touchdowns, and two interceptions.
Austin Ekeler returned on Monday Night. Ekeler has rushed for 144 yards and one touchdown.
Veteran wideout Keenan Allen has turned in a strong season for the Bolts. Allen leads the team with 519 yards and four touchdowns. Allen ranks ninth in the NFL in receiving yards.
The Chargers defense ranks 23rd in football allowing opponents 24.8 points per game.
Kansas City will begin play with a 5-1 record.
Once again, the Chiefs sit atop of the AFC West, a division that they have owned in the Patrick Mahomes-Andy Reid era.
The Chiefs have beaten the Chargers six times in their last eight meetings.
Mahomes has played well this season, but the numbers do not look as good as they normally do. Mahomes has thrown for 1,593 yards, 11 touchdowns, and five interceptions.
Former Rutgers standout Isiah Pacheco leads this Chiefs backfield. Pacheco has rushed for 387 yards and three touchdowns.
Travis Kelce has been the favorite target of Mahomes. Kelce has racked up 346 yards and three touchdowns in five games.
The Chiefs defense has been outstanding. Kansas City ranks second in points allowed per game (14.7).
Los Angeles Chargers vs. Kansas City Chiefs Pick
The Chiefs have owned the series as of late, but these are always close games.
In the last six games that the Chargers lost to the Chiefs, five of them were by one score.
The Chargers are 4-0-1 vs this number in the last five head-to-head matchups.
The Chiefs offense just does not look the same this year as in years past.
The Chargers will be able to score enough points to keep this game tight.
