DraftKings: Take the Jaguars with the points vs. Chiefs

Mike Turay writes: "The Chiefs have played a lot of close games this season on their way to a 14-3 record. On the year they’re average margin of victory is still up near the top at 7.5 points, but they haven’t been blowing out teams this year. We know that Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars don’t give up and not just based on their ability to win last week after getting down 27-0. Nine points is probably too much for a team that has shown an ability to win games in the fourth quarter and should be loose as big underdogs."

Sports Betting Dime: Chiefs 27.5, Jaguars 23.4

FanDuel: Go with the Jaguars with the points vs. Chiefs

Adam Taylor McKillop writes: "Jacksonville has been far too dominant against the spread in recent weeks for this game to get out of hand. They've averaged 29.5 points per game during the six-game winning streak and are near perfect (5-1) ATS in that stretch. Meanwhile, Kansas City struggles with the spread at home this season. Part of that plays into a dominant team catching lofty spreads at home, but this is the NFL Playoffs and this game plays close into the fourth quarter."

ATS.IO: Chiefs will cover vs. Jaguars

Jay Sanin writes: "Jacksonville came back from 27-0 down to beat the Chargers in the Wild Card round. But they did fall behind by 27 points before that comeback, and the Chiefs will not be as forgiving as the Chargers were. These teams played at Arrowhead Stadium earlier this season, with the Chiefs winning that game by 10 points. Patrick Mahomes threw four touchdown passes, and the Chiefs will remain dominant over their opponents from Duval County."

Capper's picks: Chiefs 31, Jaguars 21

It writes: "If Jacksonville falls behind early, I don’t see Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes making the same mistakes an inexperienced Chargers team made. Additionally, given they are coming off a bye week, I expect Kansas City to have a strong offensive game plan. Look for big games from Travis Kelce and Jerick McKinnon, who has been excellent for the Chiefs down the stretch. All in all, when it comes down to getting down the bet, I like Kansas City to cover at home."

Sports Illustrated: Chiefs will beat Jaguars in Divisional Round

Mark Van Sickle writes: "The Chiefs beat the Jaguars earlier in the season, 27-17. Andy Reid will have his players ready coming off a bye, and MVP favorite Patrick Mahomes will lead the Chiefs to a dominant offensive performance."
