Oddsmakers currently have the Chiefs listed as 6-point favorites versus the Rams, while the game’s total is sitting at 43.
Jamaal Charles (6,113) passed the franchise’s career rushing-yardage mark held by Priest Holmes (6,070) in the win over San Diego, but remarks he made on Tuesday about a hit he absorbed on a touchdown run prompted Kansas City to begin testing him for a possible concussion. According to Chiefs trainer Rick Burkholder, Charles passed all the concussion tests and will be monitored closely the rest of the week leading up to the game. Outside linebacker Justin Houston is having a superb season with seven sacks – tied for second in the NFL – and outside linebacker Tamba Hali has four sacks and three forced fumbles.
The Chiefs were a 23-20 winner in their most recent outing on the road against the Chargers. They covered the +3-point spread as underdogs, while the total score (43) made winners of UNDER bettors.
