The Chiefs begin their quest this season to become the 1st team to win 3 consecutive Super Bowls. They signed WR Marquise Brown in the offseason and drafted WR Xavier Worthy out of Texas with the 28th overall pick to give QB Patrick Mahomes a more talented receiver room.

Chiefs at Jaguars picks and predictions

Prediction

Chiefs 27, Jaguars 21

Moneyline

The Chiefs won 2 of 3 preseason games last year. The Jaguars went 3-0 in the preseason.

Mahomes and the starters are going to play about a quarter — so will the Jaguars starters.

But the game will be decided by guys at the back of the roster, making it nearly impossible to truly handicap.

But the only way to bet the preseason and its unpredictable, volatile results is to bet the plus odds on the underdog.

BET CHIEFS (+100).

Against the spread

In preseason exhibitions, avoid the spread. Picking the winner is hard enough. No need to count on players who largely won’t be on NFL rosters to help you know which way to go.

PASS.

Over/Under

All 3 of the Chiefs’ preseason games last year had over 40 total points.

Two of the Jaguars’ 3 preseason games had more than 40 total points.

However, through 5 preseason games around the league, the highest total has been 33 points.

BET OVER 40.5 (-110).

Kansas City Chiefs at Jacksonville Jaguars odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Kansas City Chiefs at Jacksonville Jaguars odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Kansas City Chiefs (0-1) battle the Jacksonville Jaguars (1-0) on Sunday. Kickoff from EverBank Stadium is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Chiefs vs. Jaguars odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Chiefs failed to cover as 4-point favorites last week in a 21-20 loss versus the Lions. With TE Travis Kelce sidelined with a knee injury, nobody stepped up in his absence. QB Patrick Mahomes went 21 of 39 for 226 yards, 2 TDs and an interception while also leading the team in rushing with 6 carries for 45 yards. RB Isiah Pacheco was the leading receiver with just 4 receptions for 31 yards while 12 different receivers were targeted by Mahomes.

Jacksonville covered as 3.5-point favorites last week in a 31-21 road victory against the Colts. The Jags scored 14 unanswered points in the 4th quarter to secure the win. QB Trevor Lawrence threw for 241 yards with 2 TDs and an interception while finding new WR Calvin Ridley 8 times for 101 yards and a TD. The Jaguars’ offense turned the ball over 4 times in their come-from-behind win.

Chiefs at Jaguars picks and predictions

Prediction

Chiefs 27, Jaguars 21

Moneyline

BET CHIEFS -185.

Kansas City receivers were charged unofficially with 5 drops last week, one of which resulted in a Pick-6, which kept the game within reach and eventually led to Kansas City’s downfall. While Kelce’s status is still unknown for Sunday, you can expect a bounce back game from the Chiefs resulting in a victory.

Against the spread

BET CHIEFS -3.5 (-105).

The Jaguars looked sloppy in their 1st outing in Indianapolis, only turning it around in the final quarter of action. While Ridley stood out with more than 100 yards receiving, the Jaguars will not be bailed out against Kansas City as they were last week. Mahomes is able to move the ball around the offense in a way that will put Jacksonville on its heels resulting in a Chiefs cover.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 51.5 (-110).

With the possibility of Kelce being out again this week, the Chiefs will enter Sunday with the unanswered question of who will be Mahomes top guy. While he still has weapons, the Chiefs did not display enough last week to be comfortable with betting the Over. On the other side of the ball, Jacksonville will need to improve its sloppiness against a championship-winning KC defense which it has yet to prove its capabilities.
