KANSAS CITY – The Kansas City Chiefs will host the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday in what should be one of the more exciting games of the week. There are a handful of betting lines that’ stick out from the pack for this AFC West matchup.
Betting The Spread
Entering this game there is a heavy trend that online sportsbooks may not be aware of. The Kansas City Chiefs have covered the spread in just one of their last 13 games, dating back to the last season.
Chiefs Vs. Chargers Spread Odds
- Kansas City Chiefs -7.0 EVEN
- Los Angeles Chargers +7.0 -120
Despite the recent trend, the public continues to back Kansas City, as the Los Angeles Chargers are getting just 39% of the bets. However, 44% of the handle is on the Chargers +7. Is this another time to fade the public or will the Chiefs finally start covering spreads again?
Clyde Edwards-Helaire Rushing Yards: OVER 55.5
The Chargers got torn up on the ground last week by the Dallas Cowboys and allowed 198 rushing yards in total. Even with the recent lackluster defensive performance, Clyde Edwards-Helaire’s rushing total is set relatively low.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire Rushing Yards
- OVER 55.5 -115
- UNDER 55.5 -115
Edwards-Helaire hasn’t reached this number yet this season but also hasn’t faced a favorable matchup until this weekend. The Kansas City running back is in a good position to go past this mark set by NFL betting sites.
