How to bet on Los Angeles Chargers in 2025

Kenyan sports fans are jumping on the NFL betting bandwagon, and the Los Angeles Chargers are fast becoming a crowd-pleaser. Online sports betting in Kenya is fully regulated by the Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB), and thanks to widespread mobile penetration (around 51%), you can back your team via M-Pesa or Airtel Money whenever and wherever. Below, we break down how to wager on the Chargers, spotlight the top mobile-friendly bookmakers, and share why L.A.’s gridiron stars are winning hearts from Nairobi to Mombasa.

Moneyline (Straight-Up Winner)

The simplest way to bet is the moneyline: you pick who wins outright. Odds vary by sportsbook, so always check varying betting odds. In Kenyan shillings, here’s how it looks:

• Sup(a)posed favourites: if the Chargers are –105 (approx KSh 13,650) and the Cowboys are +100 (KSh 13,000), staking KSh 13,650 on L.A. nets you KSh 13,000 in profit plus your stake back. • Underdogs pay more: backing Dallas at +100 (KSh 13,000) yields about KSh 26,000 for that KSh 13,000 wager (KSh 13,000 profit) if they pull off the upset.

No matter the margin, a straight-up pick pays the same.

Over/Under (Total Points)

Here you’re betting on combined points. Bookmakers set a line—say 51.5 points—and you choose over or under. Chargers games have recently hovered around 49–53 total points, so keep an eye on matchups and injury news before locking in your "over" or "under."

Against the Spread (Point Spread)

Spread betting evens the field by giving or taking points. For example, L.A. might be +6.5 (approx –KSh 14,300) vs. Arizona at –6.5 (approx KSh 14,300).

• If the Chargers win by 7+ points, +6.5 bettors win. A KSh 1,300 stake returns ~KSh 2,482 total (≈KSh 1,182 profit). • If the Cardinals cover (win by 7+ or lose by ≤6), –6.5 wins the same payout.

Chargers on the Move: San Diego to L.A.

Though the Chargers have called Los Angeles home since 2017, fans still reminisce about Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego. Owner Dean Spanos fought hard for a new venue, but today the L.A. link-up is stronger than ever, both on the field and at the sportsbook.

Home Ground – SoFi Stadium

The Chargers share the 70,000-seat SoFi Stadium (operated by StadCo LA, LLC) with the Rams. Before it opened, they played at Dignity Health Sports Park. Now, it’s one of the NFL’s premier venues and a hotspot for live betting markets.

Why Kenyan Punters Love the Chargers

Football (soccer) and the English Premier League are massive here—so when NFL games hit at odd hours, many Kenyan fans treat them like mid-week EPL fixtures. The Chargers’ exciting offense (led by Herbert) and growing following make them a popular pick in parlays and live bets.

Justin Herbert

In just two seasons, Herbert turned L.A. into a high-octane offense. He’s climbing MVP boards on online sportsbook NFL MVP markets and keeps Kenyan fans glued to their phones.

J.C. Jackson

All-Pro corner Jackson arrived in 2022 after a Pro Bowl stint with New England. His pick-six ability and lockdown coverage make him a favourite name for defensive prop bets.

Since 1960, L.A. (and San Diego) Chargers rank at 468–470–11, with one championship (AFL Title, 1963) and a 12–18 playoff record. Legendary QB Philip Rivers threw for 59,271 yards and 397 TDs. LaDainian Tomlinson leads rushing (18,458 yards, 145 TDs) and Antonio Gates tops receptions (955 grabs, 116 TDs). Coach Sid Gillman boasts the best winning percentage in franchise history (86–53–6).

The Chargers won the AFL crown in 1963 and made four AFL title games before joining the NFL. Their lone Super Bowl appearance came after the 1994 season (Super Bowl XXXIX). Recent playoff droughts haven’t dampened punters’ faith—especially after adding pass rusher Khalil Mack and lockdown corner J.C. Jackson.

Founded in 1959, the Chargers hopped from L.A. to San Diego (1961) and back again (2017). Ownership changed hands from Barron Hilton to Eugene Klein, then to Alex Spanos in 1984. Today, the Spanos family holds a franchise valued at over USD 2.9 billion. Sid Gillman’s innovative offence and that 1963 AFL title still loom large in team lore.
