NFL Week 3 Free Pick: Take San Diego. Usually when a spread is this high in the NFL it’s smart to take the underdog, but the Chiefs have been outscored 89-10 in their first two games so it’s difficult to back them in their present state. According to latest NFL trends, the home team is 4-1 against the spread in the last five meetings between these two teams, while the Chiefs are 2-6 against the number in their last eight trips to San Diego. Kansas City is also 0-5 against the spread in its last five games versus the AFC west and 1-8 ATS in its last nine games against AFC opponents. Philip Rivers and Co. should be firing on all cylinders today.
