    • Recent-10 net efficiency differential is +0.120 EPA/play for Kansas City versus the Chargers, or 12.0 points per 100 plays.
    • PIT feature inputs show Kansas City +0.105 offensive EPA/play and -0.083 defensive EPA allowed versus Los Angeles at -0.255 and -0.097.
    • Kansas City has only four 2026 games in the PIT feature sample, so the efficiency gap is thinly sampled.

      Why it likes it
      • Book levels: Chargers 3 vs Chiefs 3; two-of-three measures agree and both quote stakes exceed a few hundred dollars.
      • Backing Los Angeles Chargers, which is thin-at-quote/deep-behind-it; leg matches. ProphetX quote is +360 (21.74¢).
      • Book-level count ties, so this is not a three-measure confirmation.

      • PROJECTION, Kansas City has 14 rest days versus the Chargers' 7, the decisive scripted-half lever.
      • Live state is KC 9-0 with 2:24 left in Q1; the contract needs only a halftime margin above 3.5.
      • current 9-0 lead plus the remaining-clock possession model produces an estimated 80.5% chance of KC clearing 3.5; no flat halving.
      • The derived 80.5% is sensitive to the live-clock and possession assumptions; it is not a directly quoted same-rung sharp price.
