Let's take a look at some of the best NFL player prop bets for Chargers-Chiefs, according to BetMGM's Colton Pool.

Patrick Mahomes Over 19.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

While Patrick Mahomes didn't reach this rushing total in the Chiefs' season opener, there's plenty of reason to believe he will in Week 2.

For starters, he rushed for 20 or more yards in 10 of 17 games last season. He's fast, and he's unafraid to use that speed to his advantage.

Mahomes wasn't sacked once last week, and when he was under pressure, Pro Football Focus graded him among the top 10 quarterbacks in such situations. But he'll likely be facing more adverse circumstances against the Chargers.

The Chargers, led by J oey Bosa and Khalil Mack, sacked Raiders quarterback Derek Carr five times last week. If L.A. gets after Mahomes as often, he may be flushed out of the pocket and forced to run more often.
