3. NFL Playoffs: Jacksonville at Kansas City

Unders can be just as fun as overs if you have the defenses clocked right. I actually prefer the 3-0 first quarter on the under instead of the 17-10 first quarter on an over – it’s sort of more satisfying.
Yeah, that’s not happening in the Divisional Round of your NFL Playoffs.
I can’t quite get there with the 48 on Giants-Eagles, but the other three games have the potential to be high-flying fun.
Really? You think the Kansas City offense that’s been waiting to get rolling will limp its way to 17 points? It scored fewer than 20 points just once.
Here’s concern – Kansas City 27, Jacksonville 17. That was the Week 10 meeting, and the Chief defense is just good enough to keep the Jaguars from going off.
The Chiefs are scoring consistently, but the offense has been a tad hit or miss. It should be able to get to 20, but will that be enough?

No one gives up more touchdown passes than the Chiefs, someone’s getting to 30 in this, and there’s a good shot Patrick Mahomes and company take care of most of the heavy lifting on their own.
But I get it. 52.5 is a big number, so …
