Thursday Night Football best bets: Chargers at Chiefs

The VSiN staff is back for the first game of NFL Week 2. The Chargers are playing against the Chiefs.

Kansas City is a 3-point favorite against the Chargers. Keenan Allen is expected to miss the game. Prime-time dogs are 61-44 ATS (58%) over the past three seasons. Chargers are a road divisional dog (56% AATS since 2019). Conference road dogs of 6 points or less went 58% ATCL last season. Justin Herbert is 3 -1 ATAW in his career against Kansas City.

Josh Palmer played 75% of the snaps last week. He played well in the game against the Giants. Keenan Allen is out for the Chargers. Palmer will be the No. 2 receiver behind Mike Williams. The Chiefs will focus on Austin Ekeler. Anytime TD plus a sprinkle on First TD at 19-1 look good bets for Thursday Night Football.

Patrick Mahomes was phenomenal in the Chiefs' win over the Cardinals. He racked up 360 passing yards on 30 completions and five passing touchdowns. The Chiefs are playing the Chargers on Thursday Night Football. Danny Burke is betting Patrick Mahome over 26.5 complements (-114). The Chargers are more than capable of scoring at will. In seven career appearances against the Charger, Mahomans has eclipsed this mark six times.
