NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Patrick Mahomes to go Under 0.5 interceptions on Sunday Night Football versus the Chargers:
“Patrick Mahomes has cleaned up his act over the last five games and we will continue to ride the Under 0.5 interception train.
Mahomes started the season with an interception in seven straight games (9 total) but has just two interceptions over five games with both picks coming against Buffalo.
In the previous five games, Mahomes has 11 passing touchdowns to two interceptions compared to eight touchdowns and nine picks in the first seven games.
While the Chargers have an opportunistic defense and grabbed an interception off Mahomes earlier this season, I like Mahomes to go Under 0.5 interceptions at -115 odds.”
