The Chiefs (-6) and the Chargers (+6) are slated for their first matchup of the season next Sunday, and the Chargers are once again projected as the underdogs, per DraftKings Sportsbook.
It’s a wild proposition to give the Chiefs a 6-point spread against the Chargers, as these two teams historically play each other very, very close. Although Justin Herbert’s record against the Chiefs is 2-4 since taking over as the franchise quarterback, not a single game has been decided by more than one possession. Only once have the Chiefs matched the 6-point margin of victory Draftkings Sportsbook is projecting, and the Chiefs have fielded stronger rosters than they boast today.
