Chiefs Seek Third Straight Win
The Kansas City Chiefs are targeting a third straight win. The Chiefs dropped the first two games and had many wondering if they can be considered a contender. They answered the critics with two straight convincing wins. The Chiefs lost against the Chargers and Eagles to begin the season and beat the Giants in win number one. Next, K.C. posted a dominating 37-20 home win against the Ravens in a clash that had the Chiefs marked as 2.5-point dogs. The Chiefs have covered in two of their four games this season,
Patrick Mahomes came through with his best game of the season last week, recording 270 passing yards. The star QB has posted 220+ yards in all but one game and has generated 939 passing yards, accompanied by a 7:1 TD to INT ratio. The K.C. rushing offense has been mediocre.

The Chiefs have a ton of depth at receiver. Hollywood Brown has been outstanding. He has brought in 206 receiving yards. Xavier Worthy has missed the last few games with a shoulder injury and was back on Sunday and dominated, making five receptions. Travis Kelce has posted 182 yards this season. The KC offense netted 382 yards last week and is averaging 332 yards per game.
The Chiefs' defense has been their best strength so far. The unit conceded 360 total yards last week, which isn’t bad considering Baltimore is one of the best offensive teams.

Kansas City is averaging 24.3 points on the season, ranking them 15th. They are conceding an average of 19 points, good for ninth.
Jaguars Continue to Surprise After Another Big Win
The Jacksonville Jaguars are also seeking a third win in a row. Jacksonville has been a bit of a surprise. The only blemish was a narrow road defeat against the Bengals in week two. They rebounded from that one by defeating the Texans 17-10 two weeks ago and earned a big 26-21 upset road win against the 49ers last week in a meeting that had the Jaguars as 3.5-point dogs. The Jaguars have covered the spread in three of four games.
Trevor Lawrence has not been particularly dangerous this season. The 25-year-old QB has issued 222 or fewer yards in three of four games. Lawrence has registered 845 passing yards and a 5:4 TD to INT ratio. Jacksonville is opting for the run more than the pass. Travis Etienne was the big reason they won last week, accumulating 124 rushing yards. The 26-year-old RB has been among the best in the NFL this season, posting 394 yards.
Brenton Strange is consistently producing, amassing 45 or more receiving yards in three of four games. The 24-year-old tight end leads the squad wth 182 receiving yards. Brian Thomas Jr. had a mammoth 2024 season but has been quiet, reporting 164 yards. Dyami Brown is questionable for this one. He has 116 receiving yards. The Jacksonville offense managed 325 total yards last week. The offense is posting an average of 348 yards per game this year.
The Jaguars' defense has been winning them games. The group was not quite as effective last week, squandering 389 yards and struggling to defend the pass. The Jags have contained the opposition in all but one game. The unit is keeping opponents to just 316 yards per game. Foyesade Oloukun has 30 combined tackles, while safety Eric Murray has made 20 tackles. Murray is questionable with a neck injury. Defensive end Travon Walker is questionable. The pass defense is ranked 25th, and the rush defense comes in at fifth in the NFL.
Jacksonville is scoring an average of 24 points, rating them 15th. The Jaguars are keeping opponents to an average of just 18 points, good for fifth in the NFL.
Chiefs vs. Jaguars Pick
Spread Pick for Chiefs vs. Jaguars
- Jacksonville Jaguars +3.5 (5 units)
The Kansas City Chiefs are only 2-2 on the season. The Jacksonville Jaguars are playing with confidence. They have won three of four games this year. They are beating quality opponents, including a home win against the Texans and a big road win against the 49ers last week.
Furthermore, the Jacksonville rushing offense is key in this one. They will run more than pass by a good margin. Travis Etienne posted 124 rushing yards last week, and Jacksonville’s rushing offense ranks 3rd in the NFL. The success will resume against a Chiefs' subpar rush defense, conceding an average of 127 yards per game, ranking them 22nd. Also, the Chiefs' first road game was in Brazil, and the second was against a 0-4 Giants squad. This will be a bigger challenge on the road against a confident opponent.
Over/Under Pick for Chiefs vs. Jaguars
- Over 45.5 (5 units)
I expect a ton of scoring in this matchup. Kansas City has rebounded from a poor start offensively by scoring 59 points in its past two games. Mahomes had his best game of the season last week, posting 270 passing yards. The Jaguars' pass defense is one area that has been exposed, ranking 22nd in the NFL.
In addition, Jacksonville has a quick offense, averaging 65 plays per game, which ranks them sixth in the NFL. The offense has been more dangerous than expected, scoring 26 or more points in three of its four games on the season. The Chiefs' defense is decent, but they have surrendered 20 or more points in three of four games.
