Jets vs Chiefs Prediction
The current betting odds have the Chiefs listed as a 9.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Chiefs have looked good in their games this season with their 5-2 record overall which has them right near the top of the AFC West. They have looked great on their home field too with their 3-0 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Jets have looked terrible in their games this season with their 2-6 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the AFC East. They have been a bad road team too with their 1-3 road record this year. The Jets had a nice start to the season and their defense even looked improved from last season, but they have shown that they are still the same old Jets. They have looked terrible lately with their defense going back to giving up a ton of points in their games and their offense hasn't really been rolling either. They gave the winless Dolphins their 1st win of the season 2 weeks ago and now they are coming off a 38-33 loss to the Raiders in their last one. They finally got a great game from their offense and they were in control for most of that game too, but the defense once again let them down by giving that game away late. The Chiefs had a great start to the season going 5-0 and now they have lost 2 games in a row. They got completely embarrassed in prime time by the Seahawks in their 1st loss of the year and they looked like they were going to bounce back last week against the Broncos, but the Broncos once again pulled off a late game comeback in the 4th quarter after looking terrible for most of the game. The Chiefs are coming off that 28-24 loss now, but they were right on the goal line with a chance to win at the end and they will be looking to take out their frustrations here with a big bounce back beat down against one of the worst teams in the NFL. The best way to place a bet here is on the Chiefs to cover the spread in this game.
