Chiefs vs. Chargers Player Prop
Mahomes has achieved 272+ passing yards in four out of the six games this season.
That’s despite somewhat limited passing attempts due to game flow with the Chiefs winning
This week presents Mahomes with an advantageous matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers, who have been giving up a league-topping average of 317.8 passing yards to their opponents in 2023 — a figure considerably higher than any other team. Given that Los Angeles has the prowess to ensure a close game, Mahomes might be in passing mode from start to end. Relying on their star player as always, Kansas City could see Mahomes surpassing 300 yards once again.

Chiefs vs. Chargers Predictions
On the point spread, the lines have remained steady, with the Chiefs opening as 5.5-point favorites at home.
Even though the Chiefs are favored to pick up the win, I don’t like how their defense finished their last game. The Chargers had a disappointing effort in their loss on Monday Night Football to the Dallas Cowboys last week, but LA has all the goods to keep this one competitive.
Divisional underdogs of more than a field goal are always appealing, and the Chargers make a compelling case against the spread here.
The Pick: Chargers +5.5 | -112 at Fanduel Sportsbook
