Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Kansas City to cover in the first quarter at Los Angeles
“The Chiefs have not covered a first quarter spread this season, tying in Weeks 1 and 2 with Baltimore (7-7) and Cincinnati (3-3) before trailing the Falcons (7-0) after 15 minutes.
Now, Kansas City runs into a familiar foe in the AFC West, which is a good spot, not to mention, that Chargers’ QB Justin Herbert is banged up and hasn’t eclipsed 150 passing yards in any of the three games he played.
The Chargers allowed the Raiders to score a touchdown in the first quarter of Week 1 and a Bryce Young-led offense to a field goal attempt in Week 2, so Mahomes and the Chiefs should score at least once in the first quarter.”
