Preview of KC Chiefs vs LA Chargers AI Picks 

Kansas City is looking to become the first team to win three straight superbowls and things are starting off great. One of only four teams in the NFL without a loss, they look to remain unbeaten. 

The Chargers are looking to rebound in week four after dropping their first game in Pittsburgh. One thing is for certain, Coach Jim Harbaugh will have his team ready to go on Sunday. 

Who will come out on top in this AFC clash?  Find out in this AI-Powered NFL Prediction. 

Kansas City Chiefs Preview

The Chiefs are 3-0 thanks to their defense. Normally known for their offensive prowess they have only defeated their opponents by an average of 4.3 a game. KC’s recent offensive struggles are key to my Chiefs vs Chargers AI prediction. 

Another factor in my prediction is the last three meetings between the Chiefs and Chargers in LA, all wins for KC but all close.

Los Angeles Chargers Preview

The LA Chargers hired coach Jim Harbaugh away from Michigan University and it is showing early dividends. 

The Chargers have embraced the hard-nosed playing style of running the ball and playing defense that coach Harbaugh utilized at Michigan. 

JK Dobbins is flourishing within this offense and currently is third in the league with 310 rushing yards. 

Starting quarterback Justin Herbert is currently listed as questionable for this matchup. This normally would worry me but I trust their backup qb Taylor Heinickie.

Having Heinickie as a backup is a factor in my Chiefs vs Chargers AI prediction.
