The Kansas City Chiefs host the Los Angeles Chargers in a pivotal AFC West Sunday Night Football showdown.
Check out our full odds, picks and predictions for this matchup. Now, here are our best prop bets for Chiefs vs. Chargers.
*Odds subject to change
Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco OVER 50.5 rushing yards (-114) – FanDuel
Pacheco looked great in his return from a leg injury that kept him sidelined for over two months. He broke off a 34-yard run against the Las Vegas Raiders last week, which was the longest rush of the season for Kansas City.
Pacheco will share carries with Kareem Hunt, but Pacheco could get more of the work since he’s fresh and has shown he can move well. The Chiefs have done a solid job running the ball this season, and Pacheco has more speed and burst than Hunt.
Chargers QB Justin Herbert OVER 229.5 passing yards (-115) – DraftKings
Herbert hasn’t thrown for the type of yardage as he has in previous years because the Chargers have transformed into a physical, run-first team under coach Jim Harbaugh.
However, Herbert will be without starting running back J.K. Dobbins in this game, and backups Gus Edwards and Kimani Vidal combined for just 52 yards last week. Herbert is also facing a Chiefs defense that ranks 23rd against the pass and have struggled to replace Jaylen Watson at cornerback.
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes UNDER 249.5 passing yards (-120) – BetMGM
It’s been difficult to gage what you’re going to get from the Chiefs’ passing game this season. Mahomes has thrown for more yardage as of late compared to earlier this season, but the Chargers have the No. 10 passing defense in the league.
Last time Mahomes faced a good secondary (which was against the Buffalo Bills) he only threw for 196 yards. With Pacheco back in the fold, K.C. could go with a heavy run approach.
Chargers RB Gus Edwards UNDER 34.5 rushing yards (-114) – FanDuel
Edwards is the next man up with Dobbins out, but he failed to capitalize last week with only 32 yards rushing. It also appears that he will split time with Vidal, who provides more versatility as a pass catcher.
The Chiefs have surrendered the fewest amount of rushing yards to the running back position in the NFL, and Edwards is averaging just 3.4 yards per carry this season.
