All-Pro quarterback Patrick Mahomes was in commanding form, amassing 360 passing yards and five touchdowns against Arizona. Travis Kelce was an especially effective target, collecting eight passes for 121 yards while scoring first with a 9-yard reception from Mahomes.
Considered below is Kansas City kicker Harrison Butker who rolled his ankle during their last game’s opening kickoff and is uncertain of his status for this matchup. With both teams ranking in the top five in total offense and scoring offense last season, over/under betting could prove particularly appealing in this matchup.
Game Outlook and Expectations
This Week 7 matchup between the Chargers and Chiefs promises to be a quarterback duel between Herbert and Mahomes, two of the NFL’s brightest stars. While Kansas City is listed as 5.5-point favorites for this contest, keep in mind that they do have enough talent on the road for them to cover that difference.
The Chargers remain strong despite their Week 6 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football, led by Justin Herbert’s leadership. Meanwhile, Kansas City recently defeated Denver Broncos with their impressive offense on display.
