Chiefs vs. Jaguars Predictions, Picks & Odds: Monday Night Football, 10/6
You’re seeing things correctly - Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are featured in prime time yet again. Their games against the Eagles & Ravens may as well have been ones too, so taking on the Jaguars on Monday Night Football would make them 5-for-5 this year. Regardless, we’re here to provide you with our best Chiefs vs. Jaguars predictions for MNF.

Chiefs vs. Jaguars Predictions for Monday Night Football, NFL Week 5
Don’t look now, but the Jags are 3-1 and leading the AFC South! That comes after they went across the country to take down the then-unbeaten San Francisco 49ers this past Sunday. Alongside that game was the Chiefs taking down the Baltimore Ravens in a game that was going to see one of those AFC favorites fall to 1-3.
Either way, despite preseason expectations, Jacksonville is the one coming into this matchup with the better record. That said, the Chiefs vs. Jaguars odds favor Patrick Mahomes and KC, even with the Jags being the home team.
Admittedly, that’s not surprising at all, but is that where we see the most value? Well, in terms of Mahomes - yes; in terms of the point spread at the key number of three? Not so much. Let’s dive into the best bet from our Chiefs vs. Jaguars predictions to fully explain (and don’t miss our premium NFL best bets for Monday Night Football as well!).

Chiefs vs. Jaguars Best Bet: Patrick Mahomes Over 22.5 Rushing Yards (-117 at Novig)
As much as Trevor Lawrence and Jacksonville have exceeded expectations thus far, they’ve also played two 1-3 teams (Carolina Panthers & Houston Texans), a 49ers team plagued by injuries, and lost to a Cincinnati Bengals team the day that Joe Burrow got injured.
Don't get it twisted - winning any NFL game is never easy, but they’re now facing a team that has been to SEVEN straight AFC Championship Games! The Chiefs haven’t looked like that team yet, but they’re certainly getting back on track. Even still, Patrick Mahomes has looked like himself personally.
It’s not only in the way that you’d assume, either; Mahomes is the team’s leading rusher. What is even crazier about that is the fact that it’s even after back-to-back games with just two and five rushing yards!
While that may seem concerning for this pick, he truly didn’t have to do anything against the Ravens last weekend, and he’s had 5+ carries in each of the other three games this year. It’s clear that Isiah Pacheco isn’t the same since his leg injury, and frankly, we wouldn’t mind a sprinkle on Mahomes to have any anytime TD.
Regardless, after 57 and 66 rushing yards in back-to-back games, oddsmakers have taken the past performance to heart a bit too much, in our opinion. He’s also had 30 and 39 rushing yards against Jacksonville when they’ve most recently played, although they didn’t play last year.
While the Jags defense is worried about Xavier Worthy’s explosiveness, we’ve got Patrick Mahomes over 22.5 rushing yards (-117 at Novig) as the best bet from our Chiefs vs. Jaguars predictions.
