Jeremy Cluff writes: “The Chiefs have lost four of their last five games and are hanging on to very slim playoff hopes. Those hopes will take a hit with a second loss to the Chargers this season. This could be an ugly, low-scoring AFC West tilt.”

Bill Speros writes: “For the first time since 2015, a team other than Kansas City will win the AFC West this season. The Chiefs’ Divisional Dynasty ended with their 20-10 loss to Houston Sunday night. Patrick Mahomes suffered the worst outing of his career against the Texans. Unfortunately for Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift, Park Avenue and Mahomes, the Chargers bring the NFL’s No. 3 defense (275.3 YPG) into Arrowhead this week. The Chiefs have failed to cover in 5 straight games. The Bolts played Philadelphia Monday night. This number might move after that game, but bettors continue to buy into the Chiefs. Sometimes, it’s hard to let go. It’s not you. It’s me.”

Sportsnaut: Kansas City Chiefs 21, Los Angeles Chargers 17
Matt Johnson writes: “Beating the Kansas City Chiefs twice in a season is extremely difficult and it feels even more unlikely for the Los Angeles Chargers given the state of the offensive line. Kansas City doesn’t have a good pass rush by any means, but Steve Spagnuolo can exploit the Chargers’ backup tackles. Plus, the Chiefs offense will have Rashee Rice in this one and he was sorely missed in Week 1. Those two differences will be enough for Kansas City to win it at home.”
