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.
