Sunday Night Football Picks Week 14: Chargers Look to Claw Back in the AFC West

• The Chargers lost their last SNF matchup two weeks ago against the Ravens

• Kansas City dropped in Super Bowl odds despite winning last week

• The Chiefs won the first matchup this season 17-10 on Sept. 29

The Los Angeles Chargers (8-4) have the chance to move one step closer to the AFC West title when they take on the Kansas City Chiefs (11-1) on Sunday Night Football in NFL Week 14.

The Chiefs recently fell in Super Bowl futures odds, while the Chargers are a popular dark horse pick due to them having one of the best defenses in the NFL.

Justin Herbert Over 228.5 Passing Yards (-114) at FanDuel

J.K. Dobbins was recently added to IR, which means the Chargers are going to have to lean into Herbert’s ability to throw the ball. Luckily for them, he’s having a great year and has had great games against the Chiefs in years past.

Herbert only managed 147 yards last week, though he only has to throw the ball 23 times. He went over in five of seven games just before that and gets to face the Chiefs at a time when their defense is slumping and they can’t play their usual aggressive style of man coverage.

Kareem Hunt Under 30.5 Rushing Yards (-114) at FanDuel

Isiah Pacheco is back from his leg injury, which means that Hunt has a significantly smaller role in the offense. That much was apparent last week, when he ran seven times for just 15 yards against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Even if Hunt finds a way to beat his yardage total from last weekend, he is behind Pacheco in the pecking order and will be running into the teeth of a defense that is 14th in rushing yards allowed per game and that has the ability to take away what an offense does best.

Isiah Pacheco Anytime TD Scorer (+115) at FanDuel

Following some of the logic above, Pacheco’s return to action instantly slots him atop the depth chart at running back. He scored in the first week of the season before getting injured in the second game and will be a prominent figure if and when the Chiefs get anywhere near the goal line. 

Pacheco isn’t a threat to rip off huge gains, but he is a bruiser who scored nine times last season and that really gained the confidence of his coaches and teammates down the stretch. The Chargers want to play a physical game, and Pacheco gives them the ability to do just that.

Ladd McConkey Anytime TD Scorer (+180) at FanDuel

If Herbert is going to throw the ball around the field, somebody has to catch the passes. That somebody looks like it will be McConkey, a rookie, who caught nine passes for 117 yards in last week’s win over the Falcons.

McConkey hasn’t been a huge touchdown threat, only catching four TD passes this season, but he’s clearly Herbert’s favorite target and could get an increased amount of looks in scoring positions due to Dobbins’ injury.
