The Chiefs are explosive with Kareem Hunt and Tyreek Hill. Alex Smith is much more aggressive with his downfield passing this year. Travis Kelce is a top-three tight end. It is plain wrong thinking to believe the Chiefs are a conservative team nowadays.

The Chiefs are going to get their share of points against a Chargers defense that is likely to still be without stud cornerback Jason Verrett.

The Chargers are almost always good for their share of points with Philip Rivers under center. Rivers has his full complement of receiving targets plus a top-10 running back in Melvin Gordon. Rivers' job is made easier with star safety Eric Berry out for the Chiefs. That's a huge plus for Chargers tight ends Antonio Gates and Hunter Henry.
