4* Free Week 18 NFL Betting Prediction: Kansas City +1.5
With a current record of 5-11, the Chargers have undergone significant changes since their last encounter with the AFC West rival in Week 7.
Kansas City boasts a perfect 5-0 record in their previous five meetings.
Kansas City displayed a strong defensive performance in their recent game against Cincinnati. I’m placing my bet on them to cover the spread, with the current line at +1.5. Yes, even with Blaine Gabbert at QB.
The Chiefs’ often underestimated defense could potentially secure a shutout in this game, which has been a pivotal factor for KC’s presence in the postseason this year as it is.
On the over/under, I have the best bet being to take the over at 36. This looks like a slam dunk bet for me, as my gut tells me the over will hit as well as our model projecting a combined 48 points.
