Chiefs vs Jaguars Prediction

The Jaguars are favored by -2.5 in their pre-season week one matchup against the Chiefs, but Kansas City covered the spread in their 18-16 loss to Jacksonville. The Chiefs are the road underdogs in this one, and the over/under line is set at 38.5 points. I’m predicting a combined score of 34 points, making the under a good bet.

Even though the Jaguars won straight-up, the Chiefs covered the spread. If you took the Chiefs on the money line, they were +125. The Jaguars are the favorite in this one at -2.5. The Jaguars’ money line odds are -145.
