Jaguars vs. Chiefs Free Pick
The banged up Jaguars try to rebound from their horrid performance on Monday night when they travel to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs at 1:00PM ET. Read on to check out our matchup report on this game, as well as our free pick.
Oddsmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com have made the Chiefs a 9.5-point favorite over the Jaguars in Week 7. The over/under for this game is currently 37.5 points.
Let’s get to our free pick.
After losing to the Titans in embarrassing fashion on Monday night, Jacksonville fell to 3-3 on the year and has only covered in three of those six outings. The Jags are 1-1 on the road this season and 1-1 against the spread, with that win and cover coming at Buffalo three weeks ago.
The Chiefs are 3-2 on the year and a stellar 4-1 against the number. They’ve prospered at home this season, winning both of their games and covering in each of those contests.
Our Free Pick:
Whether it’s Trent Edwards under center or Todd Bouman it won’t matter – the Jags are doomed. We expect Kansas City’s defense to rebound this week after it let up a last-minute touchdown in a loss to the Texans last Sunday. The Chiefs’ offense finally looked good for the first time since Week 1 and if Matt Cassel can start to gain some confidence, then the Chiefs will continue to be competitive.
Our pick is the Chiefs, who should eventually move the ball well on a tired Jacksonville defense working on short rest. The Jags are just 1-4 ATS in their last five road games, while the Chiefs are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games overall and 5-1 ATS in their last six versus the AFC. Lay the points.
