The Kansas City Chiefs are two-score favorites against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 10. Which Jaguars players will decide who wins and who loses?
Kansas City Chiefs fans are still experiencing the side effects of the team’s nerve-wracking win over the Tennessee Titans. The Chiefs learned some tough lessons in Week 9 but came out with the win. That is all that matters in the grand scheme of things.
The Chiefs continue their slate against the AFC South, with their Week 10 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. This is an important matchup, especially for the Jaguars who are better than their 3-6 record implies. They are one of two NFL teams with a positive scoring differential, while their +21 margin is higher than five teams with winning records. The Jaguars have handled business against the AFC West in 2022. They defeated the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers but inexplicably lost to the Denver Broncos.
The Chiefs are heavy favorites against the Jaguars, but this is a textbook trap game. Kansas City has struggled against inferior AFC South competition, and their frustrating 20-17 loss against the Indianapolis Colts is proof of that.
The Chiefs are fairly healthy entering Week 10 but are missing speedy wide receiver Mecole Hardman against the Jaguars. This will certainly open up more opportunities for rookie Skyy Moore and newly-acquired Kadarius Toney. They may be pivotal in the Chiefs’ offensive game plan, but the Jaguars have some game-changers of their own. Who are some Jaguars who would swing the game with great performances?
