Week 18 NFL picks for Chiefs vs. Chargers
Before tuning into Sunday's Chargers vs. Chiefs game, you need to see the NFL picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 18 of the 2023 NFL season on an incredible 181-129 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. It is also on a 35-21 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of last season.
For Chargers vs. Chiefs, the model is picking Kansas City to cover the spread. Los Angeles has failed to cover in three of their last four games, and their only win straight-up in their last eight games was an ugly 6-0 victory against the New England Patriots in Week 13.
Stick has failed to throw a TD pass in each of his last two starts and he'll be going up against a Chiefs defense that will only have so many of its starters out of the lineup. Meanwhile, Kansas City covered against the Bengals last week to go 8-8 against the spread heading into Week 18. Gabbert may not lead the Chiefs to a runaway win on Sunday, but he should at least generate enough against the 29th defense in the league to help Kansas City cover and potentially win. You may be able to stream the game here.
