Los Angeles Chargers vs. Kansas City Chiefs: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

The Kansas City Chiefs have already qualified for the playoffs, but they still have work to do as they prepare to host their AFC West rival Los Angeles Chargers in Week 14 of the 2024 NFL season.

Andy Reid's team moved to 11-1 after a 19-17 success over the Las Vegas Raiders last weekend, but the Chargers have still got a chance of catching them.

The Chargers sit at 8-4 and will be out for revenge after losing 17-10 to the Chiefs in Week 4.

Los Angeles Chargers vs. Kansas City Chiefs betting picks and predictions

Los Angeles Chargers +4.0 (-110)

A trip to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium is normally one that teams fear, but the Chargers should head to Kansas City with a spring in their step.

Jim Harbaugh's team may have lost four times this season, but all four teams that have beaten the Chargers are hoping to make the playoffs.

The Pittsburgh Steelers, Chiefs, Arizona Cardinals, and Baltimore Ravens have all gotten the better of the Chargers, and while the Cardinals have work to do, the other three teams should be playing in the playoffs.

While losing is never good in the NFL, the Chargers can take something from each of those defeats, and they were not outclassed in any of those contests.

Only in their 20-10 defeat to the Steelers did LA lose by a double-digit margin and they face a Chiefs team that have not exactly set the world alight.

The Chiefs deserve immense respect for only losing one game this season, but they have not won a game by more than 10 points since Week 5. In their last three wins, the Chiefs beat the Denver Broncos 16-14, the Carolina Panthers 30-27 and the Las Vegas Raiders 19-17.

To only beat two of the worst teams in the NFL by a field goal is far from ideal, and while the Chiefs got the job done, they may struggle to beat the Chargers convincingly.

Under 43.0 Total Points (-110)

The first meeting between the two teams only contained 27 points, and while there may be more scored this time around, it is unlikely the game will surpass the Over/Under line of 43.0 points.

The Chargers rank 18th in scoring in the NFL, averaging 21.7 points per game this season. However, they are without running back J.K. Dobbins, who has played a key role for their offense this season.

Kansas City has scored 289 points so far this season, but they have scored 21 points or fewer in three of their last four. The Chiefs have won nine of their 11 games this season by less than seven points, suggesting that they struggle to blow teams away.

Harbaugh's team concedes a league-best 15.7 points per game this season, while the Chiefs have the eighth-best record in that category, allowing 19.6 points per game.

This game means so much to both teams, so expect a low-scoring matchup between these elite defenses.
