Los Angeles Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs (-3.5)
Total: 53
PickCenter public consensus pick: 51 percent picked Kansas City
Sharp: There are too many matchup edges favoring the Chiefs to overlook, and they inevitably put me on Patrick Mahomes, along with the public. The Chargers have had the good fortune of playing the Bengals with a backup QB, the Steelers with a backup RB and the terrible Cardinals in their last three games -- all wins. However, defensively, the Chargers are without DTs Corey Liuget and Brandon Mebane and MLB Denzel Perryman. These players are irreplaceable in terms of stopping the run.
