NFL Player Props Chargers vs. Chiefs – Sept 15th

ASA NFL PLAYER PROPS THURSDAY NIGHT – LA Chargers @ Kansas City Chiefs

Below you will find our NFL predictions for Thursday Sept 14th 2022

OVER 15.5 RECEIVING YARDS (-110) – Chiefs Edwards-Helaire – There was talk in Chiefs camp this summer about throwing more to Edwards Helaire out of the backfield as a checkdown option for Mahomes. In the opener Helaire was targeted 3 times with 3 receptions for 32 yards. Last year against the Chargers in two games he totaled 4 receptions for 27 yards but his longest was 12 yards. On the season he had 129 total yards in 10 games or 12.9 receiving yards per game. You can see our logic for yourself, it may take just 1 reception for him to get Over this number. With the added pressure of the Chargers defensive line Mahomes may be forced to throw quicker underneath making this a solid NFL player props wager.

UNDER 284.5 PASSING YARDS – LA Chargers Herbert – These two teams attempted 39.9 passes per game last season which was 2nd to Tampa Bay. KC averaged 288.5 passing yards per game, the Chargers were right behind them at 282.4PYPG. In the two meetings between these two teams last year, Herbert had 74 total attempts for 517 total yards or 258.5 passing yards per game. The Chargers will look to establish the running game here as they did in week 1 against the Raiders with 31 rush attempts which was 10th most in the openers. The Chargers and Herbert are also without their top WR in Keenan Allen in this one which will also limit the passing attack. We like this NFL player props UNDER!

RUSHING ATTEMPTS OVER 12.5 (-108) – Chargers Austin Ekeler – In an effort to keep the Chiefs potent offense off the field the Chargers game plan early on will be a heavy dose of the running game and Austin Ekeler. LAC rushed 31 times last week against the Raiders which was 10th most in the league, Ekeler had 14 of those. Last season Ekeler averaged 12.8 attempts per game in the regular season. In the two games with KC last year, he had 12 carries when he was splitting time with Justin Jackson, and 11 in the other meeting. The key to this NFL prediction winning is a close game throughout so the Chargers don’t abandon the running game.
