The AFC West faces an uphill climb in Week 1.
Kansas City’s offense hasn’t flashed its old explosiveness, and Justin Herbert still hasn’t leapt into true megastar territory, even with Keenan Allen and rookie Ladd McConkey back in the mix.
According to the latest NFL odds, Los Angeles is a 3-point underdog and the total sits at 45.5.
A shoot-out looks tempting on paper, but a tighter defense-driven contest feels more realistic; don’t expect Patrick Mahomes or Herbert to light up the South American scoreboard.
- Pick: Chiefs-Chargers UNDER 45.5.
