Jude Bellingham has retained his youthful modesty, so it wasn't much of a surprise when after a recent Champions League game, soccer's freshest megastar deflected praise and instead heaped it upon a teammate. "Best in the world," Bellingham said, when asked by reporters about the skillset of Real Madrid colleague Vinícius Júnior. "That's what I think." That's funny, because that exact same descriptor is being attached to Bellingham himself, in a trend that looks likely to only increase in frequency. The label hasn't seemed out of place during his electrifying first couple of months at Real Madrid and it certainly didn't seem out of place on Tuesday, as Bellingham played the starring role for the England national team in a 3-1 victory over Italy, a result that booked the squad's place in next summer's European Championship. This rise to prominence has all happened quite suddenly, but not necessarily surprisingly. Bellingham has looked like the real deal on every step on his soccer adventure, from playing in the Birmingham City first team a month after his 16th birthday, to being named German Bundesliga player of the season with Borussia Dortmund while still a teen, to being the top performer in England's World Cup campaign in Qatar. During that tournament, his only substandard performance came in a 0-0 tie against the United States, when Yunus Musah did an outrageously good job of stifling him in an effort that didn't get the young American as much credit as it deserved. It wasn't a shock when Real Madrid busted out the checkbook to the tune of $110 million to acquire Bellingham last summer, but the sheer ease of his adaptation has raised eyebrows across the globe, so much so that just 10 games (and 10 goals from midfield) into the new campaign, he is already the favorite to win the Ballon D'Or award given to the best player on the planet.

Here are the results of the five matchups between the Chiefs and Chargers when both Patrick Mahomes and Herbert played (Chargers won big at the end of 2020 when Mahomes did not play): In Herbert’s first career NFL start in Week 2 of the 2020 season, the Chargers lost in overtime 23-20. In 2021, both games were six-point margins, with the Chargers winning in Kansas City 30-24 before losing 34-28 in overtime in Los Angeles. Then, both games in 2022 were three-point wins by the Chiefs (27-24, 30-27). Look for more of the same this weekend. This game will be close. These games always are. Give me the Chargers and the points.
