Jets at Chiefs: Odds, prediction, betting lines and picks
Prediction
Chiefs 34, Jets 10
Money line (?)
The Chiefs are one of the league’s best teams and the Jets are clearly the worst. They can’t score points and do not stop anyone.
While the Chiefs are a sure thing to win, the -2500 just doesn’t win you any money. AVOID.
Against the spread (?)
The Jets have managed to cover the spread in only one of their seven games this season. The Chiefs have covered in five of their seven games. Again, the Chiefs score a lot of points and the Jets neither stop teams nor score. Take the CHIEFS -19.5 (-110).
Over/Under (?)
Surprisingly, three of seven Jets games have gone Over the total. The same is with the Chiefs. Once the Chiefs pull ahead, they will slow things down, while the Jets won’t be able to do much. They won’t score enough to push the total to 49 points. Take OVER 48.5 (-110).
