Chargers AFC West Odds Collapse From +325 To +850

  • The Los Angeles Chargers’ AFC West odds have lengthened from +325 to +850 after an 0-2 start.
  • The Kansas City Chiefs tightened to -130 and the Las Vegas Raiders shortened to +650, both sitting 2-0.
  • The San Francisco 49ers moved to +900 to win the Super Bowl and +450 for the NFC after a 2-0 start.
  • The Los Angeles Rams sit at +650 to win the Super Bowl after routing the New York Giants 28-6 Monday night.

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Chargers’ price to win the AFC West has more than doubled, from +325 to +850, after a 26-14 home loss to the Las Vegas Raiders at SoFi Stadium dropped them to 0-2 for the first time since 2023.

AFC West Turns Over In Two Weeks

The Chargers have lost twice by the same 26-14 score, first as 9.5-point favorites upset outright by Arizona in the opener, then Sunday as home favorites against Las Vegas, where Justin Herbert threw two interceptions and the Chargers lost a fumble. The defeat dropped Los Angeles to its first 0-2 start since 2023.

A price that goes from +325 to +850 pays more if it somehow hits, but it also puts Los Angeles last of the four AFC West teams, behind Denver at +275.

Kansas City did not make it easy on itself. The Chiefs needed overtime to beat Indianapolis 33-30, with Patrick Mahomes throwing for 382 yards and three touchdowns before Harrison Butker’s 40-yard field goal ended it, and that 2-0 start pulled Kansas City’s division price in from -105 to -130. Backing the Chiefs to win the West now costs more for the same payout than it did a week ago.

Las Vegas is the bigger surprise, having beaten both Miami and the Chargers to open 2-0. Kirk Cousins threw three touchdown passes in the win over Los Angeles, and the Raiders’ AFC West number has shortened from +1200 to +650.

49ers Pull Level With Seattle

San Francisco took care of its own business Sunday, routing Miami 35-13 behind a near-flawless day from Brock Purdy, who completed 20 of 22 passes for 287 yards and two touchdowns. The 49ers’ price to win the Super Bowl has moved in from +1200 to +900, and their NFC Championship number tightened further, from +600 to +450, pulling them level with the Seahawks and behind only the Rams, who lead the conference board at +375.

Rams Hold The Top Spot

The Rams played a night later and looked just as sharp, beating the New York Giants 28-6 on Monday Night Football as Matthew Stafford threw four touchdown passes, two of them to Davante Adams, who caught eight passes for 195 yards. New York’s night unraveled when quarterback Jaxson Dart left with a knee injury at the end of the opening drive.

The win moved Los Angeles to 1-1, and the Rams sit atop the Super Bowl board at +650, not far from where it stood in July when the Rams opened as Super Bowl favorites at +550.

None of it is bettable inside the state. California still has no licensed California sportsbooks, online or retail, leaving bettors to watch the California gambling board move without a way to act on it. All three teams are back on the field for Week 3 of the NFL season.
