Friday, 5 p.m. TV: YouTube; NBC (L.A.).
Line: Kansas City by 3. O/U: 46½.
The neutral-site opener in São Paulo, Brazil, adds some unpredictability, but the Chiefs still get the edge if their left tackle is healthy. Patrick Mahomes has something to prove, and while Justin Herbert and the Chargers usually keep it close, the Chiefs’ balance prevails.
Pick: Chiefs 24, Chargers 20
