Chargers at Chiefs: Odds, trends and more

Betting on the Chiefs and Chargers? Here you go…

The Kansas City Chiefs look like a completely different team the last couple of months than they did at the beginning of the season. When it looked like they were destined for a poor year, the team banded together and suddenly, they are quietly becoming one of the best teams in football.

On Sunday, the Chiefs will have a chance to win a seventh straight game when they play host to the visiting San Diego Chargers. With the Chiefs rolling and the Chargers desperately racing for the end of the season, the Chiefs come into the game as a heavy 11.5-point favorite. The OVER/UNDER is at 44.5 points, according to OddsShark.com.

This is the second time that these two teams have met this season. The first time they met in San Diego, the Chiefs offense ran all over the Chargers. The defense held San Diego to a field goal and it was a day of domination for the Chiefs, when they won by a score of 33-3.

The Chiefs are trying to become the second team in the history of the NFL, to make the playoffs after starting with an 1-5 record. With the way the rest of the schedule shakes out for Kansas City, there is a very good chance that they could easily win out and head into the postseason with an 11-5 record.

As for the trends in this game, the game has gone OVER in the Chiefs last four games as favorites. While 11.5 points is a lot to give up, this should be one of the safest bets of the season. The Chargers are also 0-4 ATS in their last four meetings with Kansas City, meaning the Chiefs are great at covering against San Diego.
