    INSIGHTS

    • Strengths: Kansas City has the stronger observed offense, averaging 29.5 points and 412 total net yards per game. Mahomes leads Herbert in passing efficiency, and Walker provides a substantial rushing projection.
    • Weaknesses: Los Angeles enters 0–5 with multiple offensive-line absences. Kansas City's receiving depth is affected by Rice and Thornton being unavailable. Receiver replacement roles introduce uncertainty.
    • Winning edge: Kansas City is the more likely winner, but the model assigns Los Angeles a 27.69% upset probability versus a 22.58% vig-free market estimate. The qualifying discrepancy comes from the fixed margin distribution, not a football-based adjustment.
