The AFC leading Chiefs will have a chance to put some daylight between them and second place by using their No. 1 rushing attack on a very good San Diego rushing defense.
Meanwhile, the Chargers will try to restore their shattered egos after losing to the Raiders who beat them for the first time in 14 meetings.
The Bolts may catch a bit of a break as the Chiefs could be without quarterback Matt Cassel — not that he has factored into a majority of KC’s wins–but the lack of a decent passing threat will allow San Diego to stack the box in an effort to slow down Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones.
Charles will be facing a Chargers defense that was shredded for 251 rushing yards by Oakland last weekend.
For the Chargers, they will search for a way to expose a mediocre Chiefs secondary as Phillip Rivers, who is second in the league with 3,642 passing yards, looks to get back on the rails after an uncharacteristic performance versus Oakland last weekend.
He has averaged 309.0 yards and thrown 11 TDs and three interceptions in five games against Kansas City since 2008.
Does defense really win championships? We’ll find out in this one.
The odds makers have the San Diego Chargers as a -6.5 point favorite with an over/under of 47.
