The Chiefs will open the season without their top offensive weapon.
The total has gone under in the Chargers’ last four games against the Chiefs.
If Charles can not play, Ware would be almost a top-tier running back by our projections. LINE: Kansas City -6.5.
San Diego last traveled to Kansas City in their Week 14 matchup of the 2015 season. The Chiefs defense has also prevented a Philip Rivers touchdown pass in each of their past three meetings.
The Chiefs ride a six-game SU winning streak at Arrowhead and have dominated the Chargers of late with four straight SU wins, including three victories by a margin of seven or more points. Sure, the Chiefs have the better defense, but on offense, there isn’t much to separate the two teams.
The San Diego Chargers had a tough 2015 campaign finishing with only four wins to go along with 12 losses.
The San Diego Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs have faced each other 112 times in history.
Mired in an eight-game SU losing streak against AFC West rivals, it would be no surprise if the Chargers battled nerves ahead of their date in Kansas City.
San Diego Chargers head coach Mike McCoy enters his fourth season in charge of the team, and sports a 22-26 overall record.
