Kansas City Chiefs vs. Los Angeles Chargers: Week 4 Prediction and Odds

The team that has won the last two Super Bowls is off to a hot start to the 2024 season. The Chiefs have won their first three games against the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals and Atlanta Falcons. However, their offense has not looked impressive yet, scoring points inconsistently in their last three games.

Patrick Mahomes, their star quarterback, has thrown five touchdowns, but has also thrown four interceptions and been sacked four times. However, the key to the Chiefs' success has been their defense. They have successfully stopped the strong offenses of teams like Baltimore and Cincinnati. Against Baltimore, a team known for its running attack, the Chiefs allowed only one rushing touchdown, which was a big achievement.

After winning their season opener against the Las Vegas Raiders, the Chargers have played two road games, winning one against the Carolina Panthers but losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The loss showed that the Chargers offense can be stopped despite the strong play of their quarterback Justin Herbert. In the game against the Steelers, he gained 245 yards and one touchdown, but threw an interception.

The Chargers' running game was also far from ideal: although their running back Najee Harris gained 70 yards, he failed to score a single touchdown. This aspect will be important in the upcoming matchup against a strong Kansas City defense.

The Los Angeles Chargers have a powerful offense, but the Kansas City defense could be the key factor. In the last two meetings with the Chargers, the Chiefs held their opponents under 20 points, and there is a chance that the scenario will repeat itself. If Patrick Mahomes and his team can create some successful combinations, Kansas City should overcome the spread and win by a comfortable margin.
