### Chiefs Aim to Stay Undefeated Against Injury-Riddled Chargers: Week 4 Predictions

As Week 4 of the NFL season approaches, the Kansas City Chiefs stand tall as one of the few remaining undefeated teams. Though their performance has been less than flawless, they've managed to keep a perfect win-loss record. This week, the Chiefs open their divisional play on the road against the Los Angeles Chargers, a team many believed could pose a significant challenge.

However, the odds are in Kansas City's favor largely due to the staggering number of injuries plaguing the Chargers. Los Angeles listed 14 players on their Thursday injury report, the highest this season. Notable names include quarterback Justin Herbert, pass rusher Joey Bosa, and offensive tackle Joe Alt.

The big question is how the Chiefs will perform against this battered Chargers team. Amid the mounting injuries, some experts think Kansas City is poised for a convincing win, while others caution that the game might be closer than anticipated.

Patrick Allen, with a perfect 3-0 prediction record, senses a potential trap game. He believes that if the Chiefs fail to ignite their offense, they could find themselves in a tight battle but ultimately trusts Mahomes to secure a win, predicting a 20-14 victory for Kansas City.

Tyler Brown, also 3-0, thinks the Chiefs are unlikely to blow out the Chargers even with their key players sidelined. He anticipates a lower-scoring affair, with Kansas City's sound run defense and Travis Kelce stepping up in the absence of Derwin James. Brown predicts a 23-10 win for the Chiefs.

Maxwell Cashio, 2-0, expects Kansas City to dominate, propelled by a strong aerial attack and a breakout game for Kelce. He predicts a lopsided 42-21 victory over an injury-plagued Chargers squad.

Matt Conner, another 3-0 predictor, believes the Chiefs should win convincingly but foresees a closer contest ending with a last-second field goal by Harrison Butker. He predicts a 24-21 win for Kansas City.

Braden Holecek, also 3-0, thinks the game will be tighter than expected. With or without Herbert, the performance of Kansas City's pass rush will be crucial. He's looking forward to seeing the impact of George Karlaftis and Mike Danna. He predicts a 26-16 win for the Chiefs.

Scott Loring, 2-1, acknowledges that backup QB Taylor Heinicke could make things interesting for the Chargers. However, he still expects Kelce to have a standout game, with Kansas City winning 24-20.

Greg Morse, 1-0, won't be surprised if the Chargers keep it close but is optimistic about Mahomes dialing in his game. He envisions Kelce exploiting the Chargers' defense, leading to a 28-21 Chiefs victory.

Jacob Milham, 3-0, highlights the significant advantage Kansas City has on preseason paper and due to Chargers’ injuries. He predicts a strong defensive performance and a productive day for Kansas City’s running attack, with a 24-10 win.

Shawn O'Brate, 3-0, expects the Chiefs to continue their imperfect winning ways. He predicts a good-not-great performance from Mahomes but believes the defense and players like Rashee Rice will secure a 30-21 win.

Charles Robinson, 2-0, anticipates Mahomes and Kelce finally hitting their stride, leading to a 24-19 victory for the Chiefs.

Stacy D. Smith, 3-0, believes this week will showcase the Chiefs' best performance of the season. He predicts touchdowns from Kareem Hunt and Kelce, resulting in a 27-17 win.

Finally, Lucas Strozinsky, 3-0, notes that the preseason edge was already with Kansas City, now amplified by the Chargers' injuries. He warns that if the Chiefs lose, it might necessitate serious discussions at Arrowhead Drive. He predicts a 28-19 win for Kansas City.

As the Chiefs prepare to take on an injury-decimated Chargers team, the consensus among experts is clear: Kansas City holds the upper hand, though the match could be closer than the betting odds suggest.
