Jaguars open as big underdogs vs. Chiefs in Week 10

The second largest comeback in the Jacksonville Jaguars’ history has brought back a semblance of hope for a playoff run, but it didn’t convince oddsmakers that the team is ready to upset the Kansas City Chiefs on the road.

Unsurprisingly, the 6-2 Chiefs are huge favorites against the 3-6 Jaguars in Week 10. The oddsmakers at Tipico Sportsbook set the Jaguars as 9.5-point underdogs with the point total set at 50.5.

It’s been 15 years since the Jaguars won a game at Arrowhead Stadium. Two years after that 2007 win, the Jaguars beat the Chiefs in Jacksonville. But Kansas City has won the five meetings since, including two trips to TIAA Bank Field.

The Chiefs lead the NFL in scoring with 30.4 points per game, but are 20th in points allowed. While the team tallied 499 yards of offense against the Tennessee Titans in Week 9, Kansas City needed overtime to win, 20-17.

Jacksonville erased a 17-0 deficit against the Las Vegas Raiders to win 27-20 and snap a five-game losing streak.
