Los Angeles Chargers Form

Los Angeles go into this big Sunday Night Football showdown having rebounded from the loss to Baltimore to improve to 8-4.

The Chargers opened with back-to-back wins, but failed to maintain that momentum and found themselves at 3-3 in late October.

They did end the month on a positive note though, beating New Orleans 26-8, and that proved to be the start of a four-game win streak.

Los Angeles beat Cleveland 27-10 on the road, before returning home to down Tennessee 27-17 and Cincinnati 34-27.

The Chargers’ run was halted by a 30-23 loss to Baltimore, but they rebounded immediately with a 17-13 success in Atlanta last weekend.

Kansas City Chiefs Form

Kansas City enter this matchup having rebounded from their only loss of the season so far, winning back-to-back games to reach 11-1.

The Chiefs opened the season with a 27-20 victory over fellow contenders Baltimore, and did not look back as they won their first nine games.

That sequence included several division wins as they beat the Los Angeles Chargers 17-10, Las Vegas 27-20 and Denver 16-14.

Kansas City’s perfect run was ended by a 30-21 defeat in Buffalo, but they quickly rebounded from that loss.

The Chiefs earned a 30-27 victory in Carolina, before returning home to fend off Las Vegas in a 19-17 win on Black Friday.

Verdict

It may not always be pretty, but Kansas City have now stacked up 11 wins this season.

The Chiefs have found covers hard to come by though, so we like the Chargers with the free points in this one.
