Game Preview:

The Chargers fell victim to a motivated Chiefs team playing in front of their home crowd in Week 1. The defense gave up a couple of big plays in the second half and while San Diego made things interesting late, they were never in sync offensively. The Jaguars are coming off a nice home win over the Broncos, and are hoping to keep pace with the AFC South by starting the year 2-0.

Line Movement & Updated Odds:

Oddsmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com have made the Chargers 7-point favorites after they opened at –8. The over/under total has stayed steady, however, at 45.5 points.
