Football Picks for the Divisional Playoff Round: Jaguars vs. Chiefs Best Bets and Player Propositions

For 1.5 units, take under 53 points (-110 DraftKings Sportsbook).

These two teams met in Week 9, with the Chiefs winning 27-17 at home just before the Jaguars began their second-half surge. The Chiefs are coming off a bye week, while the Jaguars needed a last-second comeback to beat the Chargers 31-30 last week. There is a lot going against the Jaguars this week, and it will be difficult for them to get back up for this game.
The Chiefs have won 15 of their last 16 home games, while the Jaguars have won six in a row overall. The Chiefs have lost six of their last eight home games. The Chiefs have a significant advantage in this game due to their top-ranked passing offense versus the Jaguars’ 28th-ranked passing defense.
In order for this game to go over, the Chiefs must score at least 38 points or the Jaguars must score in the mid-20s. Based on how I envision the game script playing out, neither seems plausible. If the Chiefs win, it could be 31-17, 31-20, or anything else and still come in under the total. However, I believe this game will be very similar to their previous regular-season meeting, which the Chiefs won 29-17.
