One Isiah Pacheco Bet Chiefs Fans Must Make vs. Chargers

The Chiefs are gearing up for a Sunday Night Football divisional matchup with the Chargers and one player in particular represents excellent value for bettors hoping to earn a payday.

Star RB Isiah Pacheco returned from injury in Week 13, notching 44 yards on a mere seven carries. He had the same number of carries as Kareem Hunt, who has handled a significant workload since reuniting with the franchise who drafted him.

Now that Pacheco is proven healthy and the Chiefs have a critical game, fans should expect Pacheco to receive a normal amount of carries. That makes these current betting props at FanDuel Sportsbook a practical steal.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco Rushing Props a Steal for Chiefs Bettors

You can get Pacheco to achieve 60+ rushing yards at +154 odds ($10 to profit $15.40) at FanDuel Sportsbook. Andy Reid's comments throughout the week seemed to indicate Pacheco would see more touches. If that's the case, he has a fantastic chance to get at least 60 yards.

The young back averaged 6.3 yards per carry against the Raiders. In what should be a close contest, Pacheco will be leaned on to control the clock and stay ahead of the chains. Mecole Hardman didn't practice Friday and if he doesn't play, that's one fewer weapon in the passing game, increasing a potential dependence on Pacheco.

Last season, Pacheco cleared 60 yards in 11 of 18 games including the postseason. To get plus odds for a bet that hits over 50% of the time is ideal value.

Hunt will get touches too, but Pacheco doesn't even need to dominate the workload to get 60 yards. Even if he's only between 10-15 carries, that's plenty to cash this prop. Reid knows that Pacheco gives the Chiefs the best chance to win though, so he'll remain heavily utilized.

Expect a true breakout game for Pacheco. He won't have a limit on his snap count, making +154 odds on this prop an absolute steal.
