Pro football Sunday and the Kansas City Chiefs will travel to Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, California to take on the San Diego Chargers. The game has a start time of 4:05 pm (Eastern) and will be televised on CBS. Current Vegas odds have the Chargers listed as 3 point favorites, while the total is set at 45.
Analysis: The Kansas City Chiefs come in with a 2-3 record, which includes a 1-2 mark on the road. They are off a bye week and in their game before the Bye they took a tough 22-17 loss on the road vs the San Francisco 49ers. The Chiefs are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 road games and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 week 7 games, but they are also 1-3 ATS the last 4 in this series. The Chiefs are a rather average offensive team, as they rank 21st in total yards, 29th in passing, 4th in rushing and 16th in scoring (23.8 ppg). The defense has been very good for this team, as they come in ranked 14th in yards allowed, 7th vs the pass, 23rd vs the run and 5th in points allowed (20.2 ppg).
The San Diego Chargers lost their first game of the year by 1 point at Arizona, but have since reeled off 5 in a row, including last week's 31-28 win on the road over the Raiders. The Chargers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a SU win, but they are also 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games in October. The Chargers are once again a solid offensive team and having the league’s top rated Passer in Philip Rivers (117.6 QBR), hasn’t hurt. The Chargers come in ranked 12th in total offense, 6th in passing, 25th in rushing and 7th in scoring, putting up 27.3 ppg. The defense has been one of the best in the league so far as they come in ranked 3rd in total yards allowed, 4th vs the pass, 9th vs the run and 2nd in points allowed (15.2 ppg).
Pick: Gonna look at the Under in this one. The Chargers are an excellent defensive squad that had a bad game vs The Raiders last week. That was on the road and now they are at home where they have allowed just 253 ypg and 11.7 ppg on the year so far. KC in not a high tempo or a very good offensive team overall, while on defense they have been very tough, allowing just 20.2 ppg on the year. The Under is 7-3 in KC’s last 10 games in October, while the Under is 13-4 in the Chargers last 17 game vs the AFC. This one should be kept in the 30’s.
