This is an 8* on KC Moneyline

It very well could end up being close, but we look for the Chiefs to beat the Jaguars in Week 1. Kansas City is coming off a tremendous year in which it hosted the AFC Championship Game (lost to the Patriots). Jacksonville went 5-11 a year ago, leading to wholesale changes. The most notable is that Nick Foles, the Super Bowl hero from two years ago, is now the starting QB. But the Jaguars are simply not on the Chiefs level - yet. These teams played last year - at Arrowhead Stadium - and the Chiefs won 30-14 after scoring on their first four offensive possessions. The Chiefs had one of the best offenses in league history last year. The Jaguars were one of the NFL's worst offensive teams. Foles alone cannot rectify the difference. The Chiefs have covered seven straight September games. Pat Mahomes is 6-2-1 ATS on the road. Kansas City wins this game as they are the better team. Play Kansas City (money line)
