The Kansas City Chiefs and Jacksonville Jaguars open their preseasons Saturday. Kickoff from EverBank Stadium is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (NFL Network/NFL+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Chiefs vs. Jaguarsodds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Chiefs begin their quest this season to become the 1st team to win 3 consecutive Super Bowls. They signed WR Marquise Brown in the offseason and drafted WR Xavier Worthy out of Texas with the 28th overall pick to give QB Patrick Mahomes a more talented receiver room.
The Jags finished 9-8 and fell short of the postseason, losing 5 of their last 6 games.

Chiefs at Jaguars picks and predictions
Prediction
Chiefs 27, Jaguars 21
The Chiefs won 2 of 3 preseason games last year. The Jaguars went 3-0 in the preseason.
Mahomes and the starters are going to play about a quarter — so will the Jaguars starters.
But the game will be decided by guys at the back of the roster, making it nearly impossible to truly handicap.
But the only way to bet the preseason and its unpredictable, volatile results is to bet the plus odds on the underdog.
BET CHIEFS (+100).
In preseason exhibitions, avoid the spread. Picking the winner is hard enough. No need to count on players who largely won’t be on NFL rosters to help you know which way to go.
PASS.
All 3 of the Chiefs’ preseason games last year had over 40 total points.
Two of the Jaguars’ 3 preseason games had more than 40 total points.
However, through 5 preseason games around the league, the highest total has been 33 points.
