Kansas City are tipped to cover as they beat winless Los Angeles.

The Chargers are riddled with injuries and are struggling in all three phases after five weeks of the season, and that spells trouble for them here.

The Chiefs are rolling on offense, and the defense can shut down this struggling Los Angeles attack.

  • Kansas City Chiefs have won all 4 games so far
  • Los Angeles Chargers have lost all 5 of their games
  • Los Angeles Chargers are yet to cover the spread this season

  • Los Angeles Chargers won 16-13 when the two teams last met in December 2025

Los Angeles Chargers Winless After Five Games

Los Angeles enter this AFC West showdown in desperate need of a victory, having now started the season with five straight defeats.

The Chargers opened the season by losing back-to-back games at home, starting with a 26-14 loss to Arizona.

They then dropped their first division game of the season, 26-14 to Las Vegas, before heading out on the road for their next two games.

Los Angeles travelled to the East Coast to lose 24-16 in Buffalo, before heading back to the West Coast for a 30-23 defeat up in Seattle.

The Chargers’ winless start then reached five games last weekend as they lost to division rivals Denver at home, 23-17.

Kansas City Chiefs Possess Perfect 4-0 Record

Kansas City return from the bye week boasting a perfect record, having won all four of their games so far.

The Chiefs – with Patrick Mahomes back from injury – opened the season with a 31-10 rout of division rivals Denver.

They backed that up a week later with a 33-30 overtime win over Indianapolis, before heading out on the road for their two games before the bye week.

Kansas City ran out 24-10 winners when they visited Miami to take on the Dolphins.

The Chiefs then improved to 4-0 as they visited Las Vegas and took down AFC West rivals, the Raiders, 30-27.

Verdict

Kansas City are off to a perfect start, while Los Angeles are a team in crisis as they remain winless after five games.

Strange things can happen in division matchups, but we do not expect that to be the case here, with the Chiefs backed to win the game and cover the spread.
