This is an 8* SIDE WINNER on the Jaguars.

The Jaguars have been like Rodney Dangerfield this season, never getting any respect.

And that's once again the case this week, with oddsmakers trying to lead us to believe that the Jags' Cinderalla run has come to an end. But once again, I think the Trevor Lawrence and company can keep this one tight, and while I'm stopping short in calling for the outright victory, I do expect Trevor Lawrence and Doug Pederson to keep this one competitive down the stretch.

The Jags are 4-4-1 ATS on the road this season. Not great. But while 7-1 SU at home, note that the Chiefs are just 1-6-1 ATS in front of the home town crowd.

This points volumes to the fact that the oddsmakers have continuously over-priced the Chiefs' spread, and I believe that's the case again here.

Jacksonville fell behind by 27 points vs. the Chargers in the Wildcard, and obviously it can't do that again and expect to come back.

But I say these teams match up well. Look for the Jags to make a game of it in the second half and grab as many points as you can.

The play is the JAGUARS.

Good luck, NP
