The highly anticipated matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers is set to take place on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs, led by star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, are riding a five-game winning streak and will be looking to extend their dominance in the AFC West. Meanwhile, the Chargers are aiming to bounce back from a narrow defeat in their last game against the Dallas Cowboys.

Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET, and the game will be broadcasted live on CBS. Viewers can also stream the game on Paramount+ with their Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan.

According to the latest odds, the Chiefs are favored by 5.5 points over the Chargers. The over/under for the total points scored is set at 47.5, indicating a potentially high-scoring affair.

In the Chiefs vs. Chargers matchup, the model predicts that Kansas City will cover the spread. The Chiefs have been dominant in recent meetings between the two teams, winning their last three encounters by scoring 27 or more points each time.

On the other hand, the Chargers find themselves at a disadvantage as they played in a Monday night game in Week 6, giving them less time to prepare. Although Los Angeles has kept their games close this season, all except for one, the Chiefs possess the ability to build substantial leads and maintain them throughout the game.
