The New York Jets will host the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday night in an interesting Week 4 matchup at MetLife Stadium. The Jets (1-2) dropped a hard-fought contest to the New England Patriots last week, while the Chiefs (2-1) notched their second win with a blowout victory over the Chicago Bears.
New York Jets vs Kansas City Chiefs – game predictions
Contents
The Chiefs are an 8.5-point favorite with a total of 41.5 points. Kansas City opened as a -7.5 favorite, and the line moved as high as -9.5 before falling to -8.5 for this anticipated lopsided affair.
Prediction 1: Patrick Mahomes Under 276.5 Passing Yards @ -110 (1.91)
Mahomes has failed to pass for 276.5 yards in two games this season. Four of the six games he did not surpass that mark last year were on the road. The Jets have limited opposing quarterbacks to 222 passing yards per game, with Josh Allen (236) and Dak Prescott (255) throwing for 255 or fewer yards. Mahomes threw for 272 yards last week in an easy win over the Bears, and a run-heavy game script in the second half will prevent the reigning Super Bowl MVP from reaching 276.5 yards on Sunday night.
Prediction 2: Zach Wilson Over 0.5 Passing Touchdowns @ -130 (1.77)
Wilson has posted a touchdown pass against two elite defenses – Dallas and Buffalo – this season. Although the Chiefs have allowed only two scoring passes in three games, Kansas City has faced a struggling Trevor Lawrence and Chicago’s subpar passing game. New York will be in comeback mode for most of this contest, and Wilson will easily have 35-40 pass attempts to notch one touchdown pass.
New York Jets vs Kansas City Chiefs odds
Based on moneyline odds, the Chiefs at -450 (1.22) odds are the more likely winners and have an implied win probability of 83%, while the Jets at +340 (4.4) odds have a 17% chance to win this game.
New York Jets vs Kansas City Chiefs – Can the Jets offense score more than 10 points?
The Jets offense has scored 10 points in all three games this season and will need several trips to the end zone to be competitive against the defending Super Bowl champion.
New York Jets form, news and injuries
Future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers will attend this week’s game against the Chiefs. The inept Jets offense ranks last in points scored, total yards, passing yards, and time of possession. Wilson’s Quarterback rating of 27.1 ranks 33rd in the league. The much-hyped running back duo of Breece Hall and Dalvin Cook have a combined 212 yards and zero touchdowns on 51 carries.
