Jacksonville Jaguars

After taking on the Indianapolis Colts, the Kansas City Chiefs will return home to face another AFC South opponent in the Jacksonville Jaguars.  Before the season started, the Jags were a popular pick for a team to take the next step.  However, that has not taken shape and the Chiefs are going to look to capitalize on their inability to make progress.

The Jaguars have let down their fans this year.  Currently sitting at 2-3, this is a team that could easily be 0-5.  A lot of that has to do with an almost non-existent offense.  Prior to the season, Blake Bortles was expected to be a top five fantasy football quarterback.  He has far from lived up to that.

On defense, the Jags haven’t been helpless, but they have given up a good deal of points.  Despite being top five against both the run and the pass, the Jaguars are currently 21st in points allowed.  That is largely due to throwing a high number of interceptions.  Expect a big day from Marcus Peters in this one.

Chiefs Win: 23-16
