Why Bet on the Los Angeles Chargers?
The Chargers have had a disappointing regular season, and their 5-11 record puts them as the second-worst team in the American Conference. Their last game resulted in a 16-9 loss to the Denver Broncos, in a dismal offensive performance. Quarterback Easton Stick finished with 24 of 38 successful passes, 220 yards, but not a single touchdown assist.
Although Austin Ekeler finished with 13 carries, he had only 46 yards. The rest of the players had nothing else to highlight.
Undoubtedly, the Chargers have been too poor at offense, but the defense is no slouch. Three games ago, they conceded 63 points to the Las Vegas Raiders.
On top of that, Los Angeles has not made its home venue a place to take advantage of its opponents. They have only won twice in eight appearances, and the last time was on October 1.
The list of questionable players for this franchise is long: Zion Johnson, Kenneth Murray Jr., Nick Williams, Justin Hollins, Deane Leonard, Trey Pipkins, Stone Smartt, Keenan Allen, and Joshua Palmer.
Why Bet on the Kansas City Chiefs?
The Kansas City Chiefs are a team with a lot of power and, above all, a lot of experience to face the postseason, so the most important thing to try to repeat the Super Bowl was to ensure the división title. They overcame the Cincinnati Bengals 25-17 in a game they were losing at the beginning of the third quarter. But the offense showed its quality and scored nine points to secure the victory.
There is no doubt that Kansas depends on the level of Patrick Mahomes, who, in the last game, finished with 21 of 29 passes, 245 yards, and a touchdown pass. He did not suffer an interception on any occasion. So far, the NFL’s most important quarterback’s campaign can be summarized in 4,182 yards, 27 touchdown assists, and 14 interceptions. There is no doubt about his great level again.
On the other hand, we must highlight that they are an excellent team on the road, as they have a 5-2 record away from home.
Normally, this team’s scoring capacity averages 20 points per game. However, in four of the last eight games, they failed to reach that mark.
Final Betting Analysis: Chargers vs. Chiefs
The Los Angeles Chargers come into this game as one of the worst teams of the NFL regular season, and unfortunately for their fans, they will close their campaign with a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
The numbers have the Chargers as favorites. The Moneyline for them shows 1.7, while the Chiefs have 2.32.
These two teams have already met once this season, and the win was for Kansas by 31-17.
Go for a win in the Chiefs’ Moneyline. If you bet $100 at 2.32, you will gain $132 for a total payout of $232.
