Monday Night Football Free Pick
(The Spread) – Can the Kansas City Chiefs force a three-way tie in the AFC West with a win over the San Diego Chargers tonight at 8:30PM ET?
NFL Odds: Oddsmakers have installed the visiting Chargers as 3-point favorites over the Chiefs, while the over/under total is currently sitting at 44.5 points. San Diego is 1-2 on the road this season while Kansas City is 1-1 at home.
Line Movement: The Chargers opened as 3.5-point favorites at the Las Vegas Hilton but the line dropped during the week and now the spread is 3 at most sports books. The over/under total briefly dropped to 44 points but is now back up to 44.5.

NFL Week 8 Free Pick: Take Kansas City. There’s something not right with San Diego and quarterback Philip Rivers, who hasn’t looked like the same quarterback this season as he has in years past. The Chiefs are red-hot and at home, where they’ve taken care of business before when playing the Bolts. According to latest NFL trends, the Chiefs are 9-4-1 against the spread in their last 14 home games against the Chargers, who are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games as a road favorite. Matt Cassel needs to play with consistency and not turn the ball over if the Chiefs are going to win outright. But either way, this should be a field goal game and I like the points with KC.
