Jaguars vs. City Chiefs Divisional Playoffs Pick
We are going to side with Kansas City in this one. Jacksonville has become a different team in the past few weeks, and they are more confident after that Wild Card win over the Chargers. However, they gave away five TOs in that one and went 2-of-10 on third-down tries. If they don’t fix those issues, we don’t see Jacksonville keeping up the pace at Arrowhead Stadium.
