Week 2 picks: Who the experts are taking in Chiefs vs. Jaguars

The Jacksonville Jaguars came up short in two attempts to beat the Kansas City Chiefs during the 2022 season. The first was a mid-November road loss, while the second was a playoff defeat that ended the Jaguars’ Cinderella run.

Now the Jaguars enter a 2023 rematch with a 1-0 record and, unlike last year, they’ll have hometown advantage against the 0-1 Chiefs.

Experts aren’t convinced those differences will matter much, though.

Most are siding with Kansas City to bounce back from their Week 1 loss to the Detroit Lions with a road victory at EverBank Stadium. Here’s a roundup of experts’ predictions of the Week 2 matchup in Jacksonville:

Kelce’s health remains in question, and Mahomes will need more out of Kansas City’s receivers. Trevor Lawrence took a combined seven sacks in those two losses last season. How many snaps will Chris Jones play? We don’t blame anyone for taking the Jaguars here.

Pick: Chiefs 30, Jaguars 27
