We’ll cap off NFL Week 5 with the Monday Night time Soccer matchup that includes the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs at Jacksonville Jaguars. The Chiefs have dominated this matchup lately, successful every of the final eight occasions. KC has gotten it executed by placing factors up, with 27+ factors in 4 of the final 5 conferences.
On condition that data, it was definitely intriguing to see the Jaguars’ unfold enhance from +4.5 on the open to +3.5 at the moment. Though, Jacksonville is a much-improved group below first-year head coach Liam Cohen, as evidenced by successful outright on the street at San Francisco final week.
Motion on the overall is definitely elevating some eyebrows right here, dropping from 47.5 on the open to 46 or 45.5 at most sportsbooks. What is especially attention-grabbing right here is that regardless of the downward complete, we’re seeing about 2/3 of the cash go to the over, versus the 50/50 cut up with bets positioned.
That is going to be an in depth, back-and-back forth (probably high-scoring) battle tonight right here on Monday Night time Soccer, and you may’t ask for something extra as a bettor. Loads of angles to take a look at right here, however I’ll slim it right down to my greatest three bets for the Jaguars-Chiefs
Travis Etienne: Anytime TD (+110)
KC has allowed an opposing RB to achieve the top zone in every of its final three video games, and I absolutely anticipate Etienne to make it 4 in a row. One massive side to take a look at might be the provision of RB2 Bhayshul Tuten, who’s listed as questionable and solely logged in a restricted observe on Thursday. If he’s unable to go, or restricted, that units up Etienne for a bell cow-type function right here on Monday night time.
Travis Kelce: Over 40.5 Receiving Yards (-112)
Let’s preserve it within the Travis household, however we’re shifting over to the opposite sideline for this one. The large Kelce recreation is incoming any week now, and whereas this gained’t be a simple matchup, it’s one the place he ought to get a pair additional seems.
Every of the final two TE1s (Dalton Schultz, Jake Tonges) to face the Jags noticed 5+ targets and 39+ receiving yards, and Kelce is definitely higher than both of these gamers, in addition to having a significantly better QB throwing to them. Nonetheless, KC is getting more healthy at WR on the skin, that means that groups can’t concentrate on Kelce as a lot as they’ve been the previous couple of weeks. Kelce does have an inflated 17.5-yard mark on his longest reception prop, so it’s doable that we reduce into the 40.5 yards on only one catch tonight!
Marquise Brown: 5+ Receptions (+140)
I’m taking the alt line on Brown tonight, given the powerful matchup KC faces on the bottom tonight. Jacksonville has been strong in opposition to the run, so we should always anticipate to see Patrick Mahomes try to air it out some extra tonight.
Brown wasn’t wanted a lot within the Chiefs’ blowout win in opposition to the Ravens final week, however he’s been pretty productive on this offense. Actually, Brown has been focused 5+ occasions in every recreation this season, together with a whopping 16 targets in Week 1 in opposition to the Chargers.
