The Kansas City Chiefs are hosting the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday afternoon, and Vegas thinks the home team will roll.

Kansas City has won three consecutive games and this Sunday will play host to the 2-5 Jaguars. Jacksonville will be coming in with a new offensive coordinator after Greg Olsen was fired on Friday, following a brutal 36-22 drubbing on Thursday night.

Vegas has the Chiefs as an eight-point favorite over Jacksonville, who is unarguably one of the worst five teams in the league. Kansas City might be an even bigger favorite except for Alex Smith and Spencer Ware being in the concussion protocol.

Kansas City has to keep the ball rolling and beat this team. Jacksonville has a decent group of receivers but other than that, it’s all bad. The offensive line is one of the worst in the NFL and Blake Bortles has been playing like a quarterback who needs replacing.

Even if Smith can’t go for the Chiefs, they should be alright with Nick Foles. The backup threw for more than 220 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the 30-14 win over the Colts. Foles was going deep down the field early and often, giving this offense a new dimension.
