The Chargers are coming off a brutal loss against the Denver Broncos in their Week 17 game. Besides, they are currently on a 4-game losing streak, which they would like to break on Sunday. They have nothing to gain from this game. Still, they would look to end their 2023 campaign with some pride.
On the other hand, the Chiefs are coming off a crucial victory against the Cincinnati Bengals in their week 17 game. With their week 17 victory, the Chiefs clinched the AFC West division title. They also have nothing to gain from this week’s game. So, they will sit down some of their starters to give them rest ahead of the postseason.
Historically, the Chiefs have a slight edge over the Chargers since they have a solid 68-58-1 record against the Los Angeles-based football team. They would look to defeat the Chargers one more time at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California on Sunday.

But, some of their other stars including Travis Kelce might play since they can achieve some personal milestones.
As for the injury front, the Chiefs have ruled out WR Rashee Rice, CB L’Jarius Sneed, WR Kadarius Toney, and offensive tackle Donovan Smith due to injuries. The Chiefs will look to win their game with several backup players.

Why the Los Angeles Chargers can win?
Both teams will be heading to the game with several backup players since the result won’t matter much. The Chargers will be playing for their pride and Easton Stick has one final shot to put on a show for his future.
However, the Chargers are expected to play more of their starters than the Chiefs, which might give a slight edge to the Los Angeles-based football team.
But, their result will majorly depend on their backup quarterback Stick’s performance. If Stick can put on a show on Sunday, the Chargers might have a chance at winning the game.
Why the Kansas City Chiefs can win?
The Chiefs will be playing under their backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert since Mahomes will be rested ahead of the postseason.
Gabbert has more experience than Stick and will play at a higher level than the Chargers’ backup QB. Furthermore, some star Chiefs players including Travis Kelce would also be a big nightmare for the Chargers’ defense.
If the Chiefs’ backup QB Blaine Gabbert can outplay Easton Stick, the Kansas City-based football team will walk away with an easy victory on Sunday.
