Tonight's game is being played in Mexico City at 7500 feet altitude. This line opened up at Chiefs -3.5 and Total 52.5 ALL the money is in on the Chiefs which makes sense at first glance . Mahomes is back for his 2nd straight game and the Chargers lost vs the Raiders last game out as 1 point favorites so the public will be reluctant to back them.
The Chargers practiced all week in Denver to adjust to the high altitude which not many are talking about. This is a divisional game and although the Chargers are without their two starting tacklers the Chiefs are without their two best pass rushers. Melvin Gordon is hitting his stride and the Chiefs have really struggled stopping the run. With this line being bet all the way up to -5.5 and -6 on the Chiefs the Hedgie sees really good value in backing the Chargers here at +6. Phillip Rivers is 15-5-1 ATS in primetime games
CHARGERS +6 2 stars
