Chiefs vs. Chargers Head-to-Head Stats
The Chiefs and the Chargers are long-time AFC West rivals. They have played 128 times. KC leads the all-time series 69-58-1. Kansas City has have five consecutive wins against their rival.
Before Betting
The Chiefs won in Atlanta on Sunday night, 22-17, with their defense stepping up and stopping the Falcons at the 13-yard line with 60 seconds remaining. Atlanta had three snaps to gain a yard and a new set of downs, but the defending champs didn’t allow them to have their way.
Mahomes was picked off once, but he also had two TD tosses and 217 passing yards. He showed up when he was needed the most at the end of the game. WR Rashee Rice had a great night, catching 12 passes for 110 yards and a TD. JuJu Smith-Schuster caught the second touchdown of the night for the Chiefs.
Jim Harbaugh loves tough defense. His team saw what one looks like first-hand when they played the Steelers. After two wins to start the year, LAC lost in Pittsburgh, 20-10. Justin Herbert was banged up in the loss and may miss this upcoming game, which is a major problem for Harbaugh.
Another issue that Harbuagh needs to address is the run game. The Chargers had only 61 yards on the ground. If Herbert isn’t playing, this will need to be significantly better to give the offense a fighting chance.
Chiefs vs. Chargers Prediction
The Chiefs are a better team with or without a healthy Herbert. If the Chargers quarterback isn’t playing, our pick is for the Chiefs to win and cover the spread.
