Week 14 Sunday Night Football is an AFC West showdown with the Los Angeles Chargers(+3.5) heading to Arrowhead to take on the Kansas City Chiefs. The total is sitting at a modest 42.5 and there is quite the history between these 2 divisional opponents. We will get the ever popular matchup of Chargers Safety Derwin James and TE Travis Kelce, Justin Herbert vs Patrick Mahomes and a potential new rivalry between Jim Harbaugh and Andy Reid.
The first matchup in Week 4 was a 17-10 victory for the Chiefs. I’m excited to see how the Chiefs running back snaps are sorted out with Isaiah Pacheco in his second week back from injury and Kareem Hunt performing at a starting caliber level in his absence.
Travis Kelce (KC) Over 5.5 receptions (-125)
Line available at Bet365 at the time of publishing
Kelce and Mahomes have made positive strides since the beginning of the season and Kelce is finally getting into playoff shape. He has seen double-digit targets in 4 of his last 6 games and he has cleared this line in 5 of his last 6. Kelce also cleared this number in the Week 4 matchup between the Chiefs and Chargers with 8 targets and 6 receptions. According to PFF, Kelce has the 4th-best TE matchup in terms of coverage, with Troy Dye on the Chargers being the main matchup — but Derwin James will line up in shorter yardage situations. He has hit this in 5 of the last 6 head-to-head against Los Angeles. 1u.
