Chiefs vs Jaguars Prediction

The current betting odds have the Chiefs listed as a 3.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Chiefs haven't looked great in their games this season with their 2-2 record overall. They got blown out in the Super Bowl last season by the Eagles and had a very slow start to this season, going 0-2, but now they have won 2 games in a row and have some momentum on their side. They still didn't look quite right in their first win of the season over the Giants, but they looked back in their last one with a 37-20 win over the Ravens. Their offense looked a lot better in that game as they have been getting healthier lately, and they still have one of the best defenses in the NFL. Meanwhile, the Jaguars have looked great in their games this season with their 3-1 record overall which has them right near the top of the AFC South. They are off a nice road win over the 49ers in their last one and their defense has looked great this season, but this isn't a great situation for them to be in. They got a big road win in San Francisco and are coming back across the country to play a much better team. The Chiefs have been starting to ramp up lately and they are going to be slowed down by the Jaguars in prime time. The best way to place a bet here is on the Chiefs to cover the spread in this game.
