00:00 I obviously have my concerns just from what my eyes told me and what I saw on

00:07 tape as to what this Chargers offense looked like in that last game. I worry

00:11 about what they have beyond number one in terms of the receiver progression,

00:15 right? Because Mike Williams is such a big factor there. Yes, they got Palmer

00:20 involved and yes, Palmer was fine, but I don't know if he's the guy that the

00:23 whole offense has a lot of confidence in to carry and step up as that number

00:27 two. And we certainly know that Quentin Johnson is not that guy right now. So

00:32 they don't have a strong tight end that they trust. They don't have a number

00:35 two. That really is a number two that defenses are going to fear. Um, and so

00:39 it's Keenan Allen all day. But Justin Herbert, even at home, did not look

00:43 comfortable getting him the ball when he was being pressured a little bit. So

00:47 I have some concerns as to what we're going to get there. The other question

00:51 that I have, if I was looking to back the Chargers, which at one point this

00:54 week, I sort of was looking into that is the fact that Derwin James got in

00:59 limited practice in on Thursday and then was no practice D. N. P. On Friday,

01:04 I gotta know what Derwin James is doing. Derwin is sort of what we call the

01:08 Kelsey stopper. Derwin really has not that he does it all the time, but in

01:13 games that he's not there, Kelsey tends to go wild. And for those reasons, I

01:18 have taken Travis Kelsey over six and a half receptions is one of the more

01:21 square props that, like some people probably like to bet weekend and week

01:25 out is just betting over on Travis Kelsey. But I think without Derwin

01:29 James on the field or potentially a limited Derwin James that Travis

01:32 Kelsey is going to be more of a focal point for the Kansas City Chiefs

01:37 downfield passing attack, especially with Watson out for the game. He was

01:40 one of their deeper threats. I think where she rice over his receiving yards

01:45 is another angle that I would look to take here. Patrick Mahomes just has

01:48 had a lot of success throwing the ball. Another prop that I really like for

01:51 this game defensively, though Nick Bolton over seven and a half tackles

01:56 and assists that was it minus 1 45 might be at minus 1 55. Now I'm not 100%

02:02 sure where that one sits. Nick Bolton came back last week, didn't have a

02:07 great game, but is one of the guys that absolutely has tons of tackles and

02:13 assists when he goes up against the Chargers. Look back at his track record.

02:16 He's racking up 10 tackles himself, let alone the assist in his last handful

02:20 of games that he's played against this L. A. Chargers offense. So I think

02:24 Bolton over and I think Travis Kelsey over his receptions. Those are the two

02:29 favorite betting angles for me in this

02:31 mhm.
