Form Kansas City Chiefs

Taking on the Kansas City Chiefs at the GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium is no mean feat at the moment. The hosts have won four of their last five home games straight up and arrive on the back of a 20-17 win against the Tennessee Titans.

Bragging rights to one of the deadliest offenses the NFL has seen this season goes to the Kansas City Chiefs, who have put up 30.4 points across eight games. The art of defending isn’t something the Kansas City Chiefs excel in though. By allowing 23.6 points per game, their defense has been below average compared to the rest of the league this year.

The Kansas City Chiefs are touted as a potential Super Bowl challenger for this season. While it’s still early days, things are going according to plan so far. The hosts hold the second seed in the AFC Conference, leaving them set for a spot in the January playoffs. Until then, the aim will be to strengthen their position by either maintaining or improving their current seeding.

Form Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jacksonville Jaguars finally put an end to their losing streak last time out by beating the Las Vegas Raiders 27-20. The victory improved their record from the past ten games to 3-7. They are also 1-4 in the last five on the road.

The visitors have given up 22.2 points in the previous five outings, which is more or less on par with the 19.8 points they’ve allowed per game over the course of the regular season.

Unsurprisingly, the Jacksonville Jaguars are unlikely to make the NFL postseason as things stand. Few people expected the home side to go far, and given their 3-6 regular season record, it seems they had good reason.
