Why the Chiefs can cover
Kansas City has an enormous advantage over New York at quarterback. In 83 career games as a starter, the Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes is 66-17, with 199 touchdowns versus 51 interceptions, averaging 301.7 passing yards per game. Kansas City is averaging 30.1 points a game with him at the helm. Meanwhile, the Jets’ Zach Wilson is 8-16 as a starter, with 16 touchdowns and 21 interceptions, averaging 181.2 passing yards a game. New York is scoring just 16.6 points with Wilson under center.
In addition, the Chiefs face a Jets offense that struggled running the ball last week. New York ran for just 38 yards on 22 carries, averaging just 1.7 yards per rush. For the season, the Jets rank 22nd in the league in rushing offense (91.3 yards per game). See which team to back here.
Why the Jets can cover
Despite the team’s 1-2 start, New York still has the ability to play elite defense. Last week, the Jets held New England quarterback Mac Jones to 201 passing yards on 15-of-29 passing and an 85.6 rating. The New York defense ranks ninth in the NFL in yards per play allowed (4.8).
In addition, the Jets face a potentially vulnerable Kansas City run defense. Last week, the Chiefs gave up 116 rushing yards on 26 carries (4.5 yards per carry) to the Bears. That bodes well for New York running back Breece Hall, who is averaging 5.9 yards per carry this season. See which team to pick here.
