At 4:25pm, my AFC West Total Of The Month is on KC/LA over. I won with the Chiefs under in their last game. That was against a stingy Atlanta team and the total was quite a lot higher. I don't think the Chargers are as good defensively as the Falcons (right now) and this number is quite a lot lower. Accordingly, I will now be backing the over. Much will be made of Herbert's questionable status. Of course, he's very important but it's also important to recognize that the Chargers defense is a mess right now. This is a team with numerous defensive injuries. Mahomes will take the opportunity to get himself right. Nine of the past 10 meetings have finished with 41 or more points and six of the last 7 finished with at least 48 points. Notably, the only Chiefs/Chargers game which was low-scoring was one where the Chiefs rested Mahomes, Kelce and other starters. They'll have the "A-lineup" in the game for this one and they'll ensure it finishes with more than enough to get us over this low number.
