Key Factors

Favors Over

The Chiefs are a 4-point favorite in this week's contest, likely leading to a rushing game script.
THE BLITZ projects the Chiefs to call the 8th-most plays on offense on the slate this week with 64.4 plays, based on their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
The Kansas City Chiefs have run the 3rd-most plays in the NFL since the start of last season, averaging a whopping 65.6 plays per game.
The Kansas City Chiefs offensive line profiles as the 5th-best in the league since the start of last season at blocking for rushers.
The Los Angeles Chargers defense has had the 4th-worst efficiency against opposing running games since the start of last season, conceding 4.87 yards-per-carry.

Favors Under

THE BLITZ projects the Kansas City Chiefs as the 3rd-least run-oriented offense on the slate this week with a 36.4% run rate, accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
The Kansas City Chiefs have played in the 2nd-most "bad weather" (rain, snow, or 15+ mph wind) games in football since the start of last season, which ought to result in higher pass volume, reduced running volume, and improved passing offense results when facing better conditions in this game.
THE BLITZ projects Clyde Edwards-Helaire to be a much smaller piece of his offense's rushing attack this week (40.6% projected Carry Share) than he has been since the start of last season (58.9% in games he has played).
Clyde Edwards-Helaire has been among the weakest running backs in the NFL at picking up extra ground yardage, averaging just 2.42 yards-after-contact since the start of last season while checking in at the 9th percentile.
The Kansas City Chiefs have gone no-huddle on a lowly 1.8% of their play-calls outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (least in the NFL). This deadens the pace, resulting in less volume and stat-padding.
