Heading into every new season, certain expectations are placed on every team in the league. 2024 MyBookie Sportsbook NFL Odds, American Football NFL Lines | Kansas City Chiefs at LA Chargers
This can usually be seen by going to the bookies and looking at the expected win totals for every team. From there, it becomes clear which teams are likely to do well and which will most probably struggle, although there are always a handful that fall into the middle grey area, with their seasons potentially heading in either direction. I think it’s fair to suggest that the Chargers and Chiefs have not really lived up to their preseason expectations, although KC will get their chance to put that right when they head into the playoffs. They will close out the regular season with a trip to LA to face the Chargers and will go in as a 3 ½ point underdog. The point total for this one is set at 35.

Kansas City Chiefs at LA Chargers Odds
Kansas City Chiefs
There are some things to consider this weekend with the Chiefs. They have clinched the division and look set to be the #3 seed heading into the playoffs. With nowhere really to go, you have to wonder if Andy Reid will rest some of his key guys ahead of Wild Card weekend. This is something to keep an eye on before you bet, as some of those announcements may well come at the last minute. The Chiefs are 10-6, and while they did win the division, they have not looked like the dominant force of the last 5 years or so. Despite their issues this season, this is still a team that has won 9 of their last 11 games on the road. They have also won in each of their last 8 road games against the Chargers. On the flipside, they are just 2-5 ATS in their last 7 meetings with the Chargers. The UNDER has hit in 5 of their last 6 games against the AFC West.

Los Angeles Chargers
Many viewed the Chargers as a potential dark horse that might make some noise in the postseason. Those predictions all went out the window rather quickly, with the Chargers struggling right out of the gate. The problems got worse as the season progresses, resulting in Brandon Staley being removed from his head coaching duties a few weeks ago. The Chargers come into this one having lost 4 in a row, as well as winning just once in their last 8 games. They have also won just 1 of their last 6 games on home soil, which is never a good look. LA is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games, although they are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games played in the month of January. They have seen the UNDER hit in 7 of their last 9 games played against conference foes.

Chiefs vs Chargers Score Prediction
I am making this prediction on the assumption that the Chiefs are going to be as close to full strength as possible, but again, watch out for key players potentially sitting out. I am taking the Chiefs to win and cover, as well as the OVER.
