OUR PREDICTION: The Chiefs aren’t just 2-0, they’ve been one of the most impressive teams in the NFL through two weeks. Division rivalries are difficult to predict, but Kansas City has had the upper hand at the betting window in this series and the Chiefs are flat out the better team. The Chargers have suffered two close losses and could easily be 2-0 with two clean kicks in the final minutes of regulation, so perhaps they’re due. Still, I’ll lay the points with a sound Kansas City team that is playing with a ton of confidence at the moment.
