Chiefs vs. Jaguars Prediction: Spread

Kansas City has put together a record of 2-1 over their past three games. Their strong play has also resulted in an ATS mark of 2-1 (last 3). They had an over/under mark of 1-2 in those same games. Through their last five road contests, the Chiefs offense has averaged 31 points per game while allowing an average of 25. Kansas City posted an overall record of 4-1 while going 2-3 ATS.

Over their last three games, the Jaguars have gone 3-0 straight up. Against the spread, the team is 2-1 in these same games while going 2-1 on the over/under. Jacksonville has played well in their previous five home games, going 4-1 straight up. In this stretch, they averaged 27 points per game while allowing 15. The team also performed well vs the spread at 5-0.

Even though the Chiefs are favored to pick up the win, I don’t like how their defense finished their last game. I see the Jaguars covering the spread as three-point underdogs.
