The KC Chiefs hope to avoid the trap game as they face the San Diego Chargers today, one week ahead of the big rematch with the Denver Broncos. But let's focus on the next opponent, the San Diego Chargers. The Chiefs are favored in this game by 4.5 points, which marks the first time since 2005 that KC has been favored over the Chargers -- either home or away. That's a fairly amazing statistic considering these two teams meet twice a year.

The Chiefs are playing extremely well at this point because they play good defense and avoid turnovers. It doesn't hurt that Jamaal Charles is putting in an MVP-type season. Alex Smith has been OK at times but the defense is the real story of the Chiefs 2013 success.

The game kicks off at noon on CBS. Read on for more information on how to watch or listen to the game.
