The Kansas City Chiefs (4-0, 2-0 at Home) will look to keep the good times rolling as they return from their bye week to face the winless Los Angeles Chargers (0-5, 0-2 on the Road) at home. Fans can enjoy this AFC West matchup on CBS when the game begins at 4:25 p.m. EST.
Hopes were high for Kansas City coming into this season, with Patrick Mahomes returning after an injury last season. With a newfound running game with the acquisition of Kenneth Walker III, the offense has become dynamic once again. With a solid defense backing them up, the Chiefs are undefeated.
As for the Chargers, they’ve been the “good” team fans expected to break out any day now. But it looks like they are having the opposite kind of year this season. The offense has struggled to get on track (No. 30 in scoring, 16.8 points per game) while the defense has allowed 25.8 points per game (t-No. 22).
Kansas City leads the all-time series between these division rivals, 71-60-1. The Chargers won both games last season but had lost the previous seven matchups.

Our Kansas City Chiefs vs Los Angeles Chargers Prediction
Division rivalry games are typically competitive; the last five were decided by a touchdown or less. But there's little to hang your hat on with the Chargers' offense. Justin Herbert has completed just 59.4% of his passes and has a season high of just 226 yards with more interceptions (7) than touchdowns (5). LA’s defense may slow the Chiefs' offense in the first half, but they’ll be on the field too much to sustain any success. Kansas City will have a slight lead at the half, but Mahomes and the KC offense will come alive in the second half.
