Let’s talk about the Chargers

[RunKC]

Quick turnaround. Amazon’s new platformed TNF

First thought: love the offense now. Worries about injuries and OT’s. Mack and Bosa had a combined 4.5 sacks today. But they played the Raiders OL.

They won but nearly lost to a bad team. Very beatable IMO

W!
B!
F!

That is very true, and I just watched the highlights again and man they torched Sorenson.

Chargers starters didn't play at all in preseason so will still be beat to hell from week 1. Plus they are still developing chemistry from not playing. Their Oline looked like dogshit in week 1 they couldn't run block or pass block. Herbert didn't get sacked but was pressured on nearly every snap. Joe Lombardi is also not a good play caller. He runs the Sean Payton Saints offense, but he's got a guy with one of the top 3 arms in the NFL whose strength is throwing accurate lasers 65 yds down field. But he decides he wants to run the ball & have Herbert play 5 yd dink & dunk ball like 40 yr old Drew Brees. Once every 4 or 5 games they decide to utilize Mike Williams down field a bit but he's usually not involved much.

J.C. Jackson is gonna play. Its confirmed now.

It wont matter. The ass kicking you're about to get will be the same either way

All 10 of the Athletic’s picks are for KC. That’s a little shocking.

And what evidence do you have that something underhanded or illegal would happen in Vegas or due to its influence?

Chiefs 39 Chargers 10

It's that reversion to the mean that worries me...

Dumb move by the coach- risking his long-term health for 1 game.

Good luck keeping up with MVS and Hardman.

Charger are going for every 4th down because they know they cant beat us with field goals

CEH was running effectively in that game, but the fumbles were a killer.

If I’m to believe the that this is his year, then we’ll see it all come together tonight.

Revenge game. Prime time. At home. Weak run defense.

It’s his time to shine.

Money shifted hard on the point spread...which is excellent news for KC. It's essentially a wash...so KC is free to score at will without eclipsing the 54 total points.

The game, from a sporting perspective, just got a lot more interesting...



One of two thing have to happen or both for Vegas to make money/break even....total score under 54 or Chargers win.

A 35-17 win works for me...

This is interesting as 44% of the point spread is on LA but only 23% of the money.

Money is what's ultimately important...not percentages.





From a strictly casino vantage, the most points the Chiefs can score by while still maintaining both the 96% o/u and 77% spread is 28...while the Chargers scoring 24. Anything under that 28 gets the job done for Vegas as long as there is not more than 4 points between the team.

Chargers can score as much as they want in a win...as long as the total points dont exceed 53

Looking at the data...the odds of a low scoring game are extremely high. 96% of the money is insane...Vegas will lose it's ass if KC blows them up.

This has potential funny business written all over it...when the outcome HAS to go a certain way and work within narrow parameters. It's completely lopsided.

28-24 is the perfect score for Vegas...if KC wins.

Except that the top 5 HCs in NFL history straight up laugh at metrics, and the 'top' metrics HCs are a punchline in the NFL.

By the way, Brandon Staley says hi. Again. So much for metrics, buddy.

thanks, but no thanks. I'll hang with the coaches that might be metrics stupid, but jeez, i don't know, they keep winning games. Like over and over, for decades at a time. Well, gosh, maybe they know something the bean-counters don't?

Things like this have been happening way to consistently for it to be a coincidence. You nailed the score. Vegas always wins.

Everyone needs to understand where the Chargers are in their development vs where the Chiefs are.

The Chargers are where the Chiefs were in 2018 with the added bonus of having a Chiefs 2013 type holdovers from the previous draft cycle. Derwin is just a fantastic player. Bosa is a great player at DE. Adderley, Samuel etc.

They've drafted well, plus they have a legit QB on a rookie deal. So they could go get JC Jackson, sign Mike Williams, trade for Mack etc. Basically, the Chiefs 2018.
