Chiefs at Jets picks and predictions

Prediction

Chiefs 34, Jets 10

Moneyline

The Chiefs are rolling on offense, and Mahomes looked like the ankle he rolled 2 weeks ago is a non-factor. There is a lot of hype surrounding this team, especially considering the tabloid buzz surrounding star TE Travis Kelce‘s dating life. That could become a factor later in the year, but there’s little the Jets can do to stop them. That being said, we’re not taking 4-to-1 odds.

I would consider taking PATRICK MAHOMES UNDER 274.5 PASSING YARDS (-115). He has only topped that number in 1 of 3 games, and the Jets are allowing an average of 231 passing yards per game. The Chiefs could get up by a lot and focus on the run.

Against the spread

With how bad Wilson has looked under center, it’s a little surprising this spread isn’t in double digits yet. The Chiefs should roll, and the only chance New York has is by controlling the clock with the ground game.

I’ll take the CHIEFS -8.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Each team is 1-2 O/U to start the year. KC is 4-6 O/U over their last 10 games, and the Jets are 3-7. These teams haven’t faced one another since 2020, which resulted in a 35-9 slaughter by the Chiefs. That’s about where I see this one as well. Go easy, because we’ll have to depend on the Jets scoring at least 10, but take the OVER 41.5 (-110).
