Chiefs at Jaguars Betting Guide, Picks

Our analysts and experts break down the most important angles of this game.

Here's an excerpt, but you can read the full thing here.

Playing at home with a new offensive coordinator in John DeFilippo should provide an optimal setting for the Jaguars to establish the ground game.

More importantly, they face a Chiefs defense that was far and away the NFL’s worst against the run last season. Kansas City ranked last in Football Outsiders’ run defense DVOA and allowed 132.1 rushing yards per game in 2018, ranking sixth-worst in the league.

Per Sharp Football, the Chiefs ranked last in Early Down Success Rate, which would allow Jacksonville to gain favorable down and distance opportunities and keep the Chiefs offense off the field. Kansas City’s personnel additions of defensive ends Frank Clark and Alex Okafor should help that unit, but can it compensate for the losses of Justin Houston and linebacker Dee Ford?
