Chiefs vs Chargers Betting Picks & Preview

The Los Angeles Chargers achieved back-to-back wins for only the second time this season, with the latest being a comfortable 16-point triumph over the Giants. If they can down the chiefs on Thursday night, they will leapfrog them into the top spot of the division. However, it will be a tough ask, with the Chiefs winning their previous seven matches and destroying the Raiders by 39 points last week. Their defence has been a particular highlight, keeping teams to under 10 points in the third successive week. These two sides met each other earlier in the season, which resulted in a six-point win to the Chargers.
