Chargers vs. Chiefs prediction, odds, spread, injuries, trends for NFL Week 7

The Los Angeles Chargers suffered a heart breaking loss on Monday Night Football in Week 6, and are now just 2-3 on the season.

The bad news is they now have to head to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs, the good news is a win here would be absolutely massive and get them back into the thick of things.

Chargers vs. Chiefs key players to watch

Los Angeles Chargers

Justin Herbert: After Monday night's loss, people are starting to question Justin Herbert. He's still a great quarterback, but is he the elite player we all thought he was? He has a big chance to silence the critics and beat their divisional rival in Week 7. As is usually the case, he's the guy to watch on Sunday.

Kansas City Chiefs

Rashee Rice: The Chiefs have been desperate to find out who their No. 1 guy at wideout is, and Rashee Rice has started to establish himself as that guy. His snap count as increased each week and he continues to deliver in every game. He's the key to the Chiefs attacking this Chargers secondary.

Chargers vs. Chiefs prediction and pick

Every week, I pick one team to pull off the upset as underdogs. This week, that team is the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Chiefs have been playing with fire the past few weeks, allowing far inferior opponents to stick around far too long in their games. They've come out with the win in each of those games, but that can't last forever.

The Chargers defense has made huge improvements in recent weeks, and while their offense didn't look great on Monday, they can hang with the Chiefs when they're firing on all cylinders.

It's time to buy low on the Chargers after their Week 6 loss. I think they win this game outright on Sunday.

Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.
